Hyperland

What is hyprland?

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling wayland compositor designed for Linux, known for its visually appealing animations and modern features. It combines the functionalities of a window manager and a compositor, offering dynamic tiling, powerful plugins, and a customizable user experience.

How to get it?

The installation is matters of your linux, but it runs smoothly on Archlinux and, surprisingly, on Fedora! Personally, I use a preconfigured script to save time, making just a few minor adjustments later to fit my workflow.

To start, ensure that you have a fresh installation of Fedora 41 KDE Desktop on your computer. I'm working with ROG Laptop for this project. This will help minimize any potential issues. It's also a good idea to back up your data before running the Hyperland installation script.

I use clone zilla; you can use whatever you like.

The next step is to run this script.

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/Fedora-Hyprland.git ~/Fedora-Hyprland
cd ~/Fedora-Hyprland
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
