## Hyprland & NVIDIA
|
|
|
|
There is no official Hyprland support for Nvidia hardware. However, you might make it work properly following this page.
|
|
https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/
|
|
|
|
That's why NVIDIA GPUs are currently not supported by my dotfiles. But in upcoming releases, I will try to setup Hyprland for NVIDIA based on the article above.
|
|
|
|
## Installation in a KVM virtual machine
|
|
|
|
Qtile X11 works fine in a KVM virtual machine. The Hyprland performance is low but it's enough for testing new features.
|
|
|
|
In virt-manager please make sure that 3D acceleration is enabled in Video Virtio and the Listen type is set to None in Display Spice.
|
|
|
|
To fix the mouse issue on Hyprland, open the Hyprland settings with <kbd>SUPER</kbd> + <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> and select in Environments the variation kvm.conf
|
|
|
|

If you want to install only the core packages of Hyprland as a starting point for your Hyprland experiments please also try my Hyprland Starter script: https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter

|
|
|

<kbd>SUPER</kbd> + <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>W</kbd> opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers in ~/wallpaper/ for your individual selection.

## Screensharing and recording
|
|
|

In case you have issues with starting Waybar please make sure that only one xdg-desktop-portal-x is installed additionally to xdg-desktop-portal.
|
|
|
|
I had several issues with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr on Hyprland and Waybar. Please make sure that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is uninstalled and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is installed.
