[Hyprland] Preparation for the desktop build is complete
Decided to lean into a no Windows setup, including for gaming. I’ve swapped over from X on the basis that I’ll be using a 7900 XTX, and wanted to spend some time preparing a Wayland setup to reduce configuration time on the desktop.
Dots are on GitHub, but I haven’t had the chance to rewrite the readme yet; the current tooling is as follows:
WM/Compositor: Hyprland, using XWayland USE flags for certain items (discord, obsidian)
Term: foot
Media: mpv
Code/notes: nvim using lazy.nvim, hooks into obsidian.md
Files: ranger
What surprised me the most is that gestures worked out of the box which has been incredible. I just picked up an apple trackpad for the desktop as well, which works out of the box as expected.
Edit: https://github.com/adrnbs/.dotfiles - again, take readme with a grain of salt as a number of items have been updated vs what is checked into configs.
You can use https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord as a replacement for the official Discord client, it runs with the system Electron and can run in wayland natively.
Great points - I’ve heard of the screen sharing issue and the workarounds sound like a major pain. Will definitely give this a spin this weekend. Good looks!
Honestly, I’ve been using Discord since 2018, and I’ve met many people who have been using custom clients, and I don’t think I’ve heard of one getting banned. You should be safe unless you start doing some bad stuff, like spamming the API, or recovering deleted messages.
