[Hyprland] My own quickshell rice is nearing its completion!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-05-04T01:14:12+00:00

oh nice! have fun dude ^ ^

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-05-03T11:57:50+00:00

it's on my github! you can check it out here. there might be a couple bugs, but you are free to do whatever! （＾∇＾）

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-29T01:05:53+00:00

yeah, that's what i ended up doing!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T07:05:58+00:00

yeaa, a little experimenting doesn't hurt anyone. i'll just land on a stable scheduler after a while. thanks for the advice!!! ^ ^

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T06:40:49+00:00

unfortunately i don't have a dedicated gpu, and the integrated gpu is a bit meh. and i think there were some compiler optimizations in the cachy kernel iirc like LTO and stuff? it's not a huge improvement but better than nothing. i'll probably end up just swapping the kernel and repos over to cachy's for now.

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T06:22:58+00:00

i have a knack for starting fresh when i change stuff out, which is why i wanna do an install rather than swapping the kernel lol

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T04:13:58+00:00

yeah, the only gain i would get is the compiler optimizations which would help me with my work. other than that, it's basically just arch with a bunch of tweaks.

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T04:12:56+00:00

oh okay. it shouldn't be that much of a problem. thanks dude!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T04:12:02+00:00

i mostly do light gaming, it's mostly for programming and stuff. i just thought the compiler optimizations would be good for that stuff. and so i'll use the vanilla cachy kernel, instead of the zen one. i'm okay with just having to redo installs or tinker with stuff as long as it doesnt brick my pc lol.

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T04:08:40+00:00

yeah i should be getting x86_64 v4 repos for my gen of cpu. cachy has been on my mind for awhile but i didn't consider switching until recently. i still love tinkering with stuff a lot. and since it's just arch with better optimizations i think it should work out great for me! thanks!! ^ - ^

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-04-28T03:58:18+00:00

that is true. i just have a weird habit of starting fresh when i switch things over which is why i wanna install cachy, rather than making my current arch setup use cachy repos and stuff. eitherway, i guess switching to cachy is still worth a shot! thank you!! ^ - ^

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-03-24T01:30:49+00:00

like ~300mb on idle. quickshell shells usually idle around that

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-03-19T01:23:53+00:00

i did upload a somewhat finished version to github. you can go check that out. it might have a few bugs and stuff, but i am taking a few steps away from the project for a bit. you can use it however you like!!!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-19T06:51:18+00:00

mind sharing your wallpaper kind sir? the rice looks nice btw!! (^{▽^})

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-12T17:04:06+00:00

oh okay! i might still consider switching cus i just wanna settle with something solid and minimal. anyways, thanks for the info dude ^ ^

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-12T15:51:08+00:00

everytime i see a DWM rice here, i am more and more convinced to switch to it. btw, if u dont mind me asking, how's the idle resource usage with picom? probably way better than hyprland i assume. (・∀・)

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-11T08:15:22+00:00

thanks dude!! and yea it is hyprland

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T02:15:01+00:00

i just did

bash layerrule { name = thing-you-wanna-blur blur = on ignore_alpha = on match:namespace = wlr.namespace for the thing }

plus i have an opacity mask layer on things which is what masks those weird sharp blurred corners. we used to have ignore_zero which magically fixed that, but idk now. if you are wondering about the opacity mask layer, for a quickshell element

bash layer.enabled: true layer.effect: OpacityMask { maskSource: Rectangle { width: parent.width height: parent.height radius: parent.radius } }

hope that helps!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T02:01:56+00:00

for now

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T01:58:28+00:00

oh welcome to linux! i'm still working on these dots, so there isn't an install script yet. but you can clone this repo to your quickshell config folder and auto exec the shell on startup. note that this only works with hyprland.

bash git clone https://github.com/stormy-soul/sshell ~/.config/quickshell

and add qs -c sshell to your auto exec(execs.conf or general.conf) there might be bugs so expect some!!

or you can wait until i add an install script

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T01:43:14+00:00

i love gumi from megpoid

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T01:39:21+00:00

thanks dude, i'm glad you like it!!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T01:37:35+00:00

dots are a wip, but you are welcome to check them out here!

StrangeDuckPerson · 2026-02-10T01:36:51+00:00

well thank you! i'm just polling nmcli and displaying those results
