Has anyone played around w/ Hyprland just yet? Its another tiling win manager that has some focuses on fancy animations combined with text elements. Configuration is done in text .conf files and its the 'new on the block'...

I've heard of it, Brodie Robertson uses it I believe, it's kinda similar to Sway?
I'll look into it, if it works with Nvidia well I might have a play with.

UPDATE:
I've now been using hyprland for the last 6 months or so full time, switched from i3(Xorg) -> Sway(Wayland) -> hyprland and omgosh I haven't enjoyed using a computer as much since the good ol' days of DOS lol.

If anyone fancies trying out a dynamic tiling window manager, honesstly hyprland is one of the best there is (if not the best (imho)).

I have an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU using the open dkms, upto nvidia 560 now I believe. Zero issues, runs everything I throw at it (well so far).

Has anyone else tried to use hyprland? If so what are your thoughts? If not, do you think you'll give it a try?

You know that I've both built Hyprland setups and used a few decent themes. I HAD liked soldoestech's hyprv4 - but theres a new collection named Hypr-Dots that are pretty cool.

I know you always make a mL setup - how do you have it customized??? Shared your ~/.config/hyprland???

Glad you like it - I go back and forth between wanting a full WM and Hypr.

I've never tried to use anyone else's config to be honest, it does seem like an easy way to make different themes for it.

Hmm well I guess it's mostly stock, I've installed waybar and customised that a little but not too much, the main customisations are the bindings I've set and the scripts that the bindings call for various tasks like screen shots and to make the background change etc.

Shared your ~/.config/hyprland???

I haven't shared my hyprland config no, I mean I could... would probably have to make some alterations to remove stuff that wouldn't make sense for anyone else... but remind me on next TGT and I will flip to the desktop view and you can see what it looks like.

Mate I love it, it just make sense. I mean, using any twm would make more sense for my use case and work flow, but I'm really getting used to and even have fallen in love with dynamic tiling, coming from sway/i3 which is manual tiling.

I look at all these (bloated) desktop environments coming out like cosmic and kde plasma et al, and although on the face of them they look quite pretty, I'm just not a window clicker, and prefer running stuff from the keyboard. It just makes much more sense for me to use a tiler. I know cosmic has tiling in it, but it's not the same. Not to me anyway.

I agree - but users must be aware that they have to install solutions for things that they might not know how to manage... power management, sleep, hibernate, etc.

Can be done - but for users coming directly off full WMs it is a challenge.

Oh for sure, but stuff like power management, sleep/hibernate, etc aren't necessarily things related to a DE or TWM, per se, but they're things that are more OS level stuff. Those coming from a full DE to a TWM I'm sure would love the challenge, that's where the fun is! (imho)

I have scripts of my own that set power management levels changing from performance to eco or whatever, I don't use sleep/hibernate mind you so I haven't ever even thought about making a script fo those.

I think DE's are good for beginners who don't yet want to tinker, and power users alike, and a TWM is more aimed at the tinkerers/power users, and because of that the user would likely be at least aware of these things that are needed to be done "differently".

I love shell scripting, so of course I took great pleasure in making my system do the things I want and how I want with scripts and bindings, but not everyone is a tinkerer/power user so DE's exist to handle all that for those who don't tinker I guess.
