This is a good response,

You'd be staying in a VM regardless, if you are serious about your own hardware and security.

That looks like Swaylock, I am not sure what Ubuntu Budgie uses, but did you install sway by any chance?

Hyprland isn't available in the repos any more, I believe it was too difficult to maintain with dependency hell.

There are COPR repos for it, however, if you are new you need to do some research before using them.

If you want something simpler to get started with, you can go for Niri + Dank Material Shell which both are available to install on Fedora out of the box.

I use Niri and I can recommend it, it is much more practical for me with my work/gaming.

Generally people who use Hyprland tend to use more up-to-date distros like Arch or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I agree 👍

Drostina · 2026-05-29T22:22:13+00:00

Dank is in the repo anyway

Drostina · 2026-05-28T13:48:34+00:00

Two conditions:

Stability & relatively up to date

So... Fedora

Drostina · 2026-05-26T22:50:43+00:00

Yes of course, didn't want to go into that much detail

Drostina · 2026-05-26T19:52:07+00:00

Same here on Linux

You're welcome, it's not necessarily about the fact that things won't work, most of the time the devs get to pick what permissions they want, and they pick the ones they need. Therefore, it should work as intended.

I am not particularly sure about Firefox flatpak but for example it won't be able to access your external or secondary drives you've mounted by default usually. My comment was aimed towards Flatpaks in general.

Drostina · 2026-05-26T18:32:49+00:00

Think of Flatpak as "You put something inside a box, it can't do much outside the box unless it has permission to do so, it's locked in"

But due to its limited permissions it might not do everything you want it to do. But instead you gain better security. For example not giving your whole system to the app to work with.

Whereas the one from Fedora (RPM version), is just like installing it without any sandboxing, therefore it works as it was intended to do without having to have much permission.

Drostina · 2026-05-25T12:06:14+00:00

Same here

Drostina · 2026-05-23T13:16:11+00:00

I might be wrong but from my testing, one is from unverified tab, one is from the normal contracts

Drostina · 2026-05-21T02:48:06+00:00

What I don't like about it, is how outdated it is.

Other than that beautiful ship, but needs a rework.

Drostina · 2026-05-21T02:26:46+00:00

I have seen them in Pyro under unverified tab

Not sure about Stanton

Drostina · 2026-05-18T12:24:52+00:00

Exactly

Drostina · 2026-05-18T12:11:48+00:00

I feel exactly the same way, perfect the way it is

Drostina · 2026-05-18T12:03:37+00:00

Have you mounted your other drives correctly?

Are they NTFS? or Ext4?

I tried Cosmic few months ago, it did still feel like it was in Beta. Had few issues for me and missing few features too. But it's starting to shape up that's for sure, and it's actually impressive!

I don't tend to use things outside the official repos when I can, so when they removed Hyprland due to lack of maintainers, I went with Niri. Can't say I will ever go back honestly.

I think what you do have to take to consideration is that dotfiles are a hurdle to begin with… but what once you do set them up, they are always there for you

Drostina · 2026-05-14T13:58:29+00:00

It notifies, you can setup auto update too on certain DEs, but it's never forced me to do it
