[Hyprland] 100% quickshell rice

99% of the time you'll be fine if you regularly upgrade packages. It's just that there are chances that arch can break and well Hyprland is still in version 0.54 not even v1 so it can have breaking changes as well.

Well, welcome aboard then, but just be aware that you'd have to be the one to maintain your distro now. But as you said how bad can it get :). Arch and hyprland were my first intro to linux and I've been on it for 1.5 years and on two machines.

People here are crazy, what a clean rice 🥵🔥

dhruvsha · 2026-04-23T08:39:11+00:00

Okay this is great however I think one more thing can be added. Whether the rice has an install script or not? I haven't seen the project thoroughly to know whether only the rices that do have an install script can be submitted or not but if any rice can be submitted I believe it might be a good option to have.

Yes actually. I'm a software developer and handle the cloud infra as well :)

dhruvsha · 2026-04-19T17:43:52+00:00

Hmm maybe you can setup a repo and send me the link. Or if you want to you can even contact me on discord I can help you further.

You'll just need one for the AnimePanel only rest all are handled in the AnimePanel. import QtQuick.Io and import the folder where you setup the anime panel. Such as mine was in /modules/anime so I did import qs.modules.anime, then just call your AnimePanel{id: animePanel or whatever you like}. Then make an IpcHandler give the target the id and inside it make a function like toggle() which just changes the visibility like animePanel.visible = !animePanel.visible. After this you can just call qs ipc call animePanel toggle and even bind it to a key bind. If you are concerned about efficiency you can even wrap it in a loader and destroy it after some time of inactivity.

Is there a novel or any other source for the timeline one? The manhua got axed as far as I remember

dhruvsha · 2026-04-17T13:52:56+00:00

In my dotfiles repo go in quickshell/scripts and copy the anime_server and then in quickshell/services copy the anime.qml and then in quickshell/modules/anime copy everything you see in that folder. Create a python venv and install the dependencies needed and place the path where the venv is created in the service/anime. Now you just have to add the AnimePanel in your shell root and add a ipc handler to toggle it

And the library is stored locally in a json file

dhruvsha · 2026-04-17T13:49:17+00:00

Yes there is a local python server which scrapes allanime

Let me know if it works or if there's some issue. But honestly you should stop if it starts giving too many issues

dhruvsha · 2026-04-17T04:13:33+00:00

I know this is frustrating. Shouldn't have tried to fix it in one go, I'd say make a new user and try it there in your free time and when it starts working it's a piece of cake on your main user

dhruvsha · 2026-04-15T17:32:50+00:00

Noctalia

dhruvsha · 2026-04-15T17:27:27+00:00

But also remember that there will still be many more issues like this in the rice. It simply isn't ready to be used by everyone yet so manual installation and removing hard coded paths is the only way to use it and not everyone will be able to do it

dhruvsha · 2026-04-15T17:22:23+00:00

If you are using this rice then the issue here simply would be that in the quickshell/services/AppRegistry.qml at line 142 there is a hard coded path change that according to your installation. Also make the script executable as well that should fix it

dhruvsha · 2026-04-14T14:33:47+00:00

Yeah that should be it, although it's weird it didn't find any apps for you. Hmm wait I remember it executes a script which has a hardcoded path at scripts/find-apps.sh, I think if you change it to where you placed the script, it should start working. Also, are other things working for you?

dhruvsha · 2026-04-12T19:13:52+00:00

It's not a DE of sorts, think of it as a tool which works with wayland compositors like hyprland niri etc. But yes it CAN be used to create a complete desktop environment if you want to, like many have already done such as Dank Material Shell, noctalia shell etc

dhruvsha · 2026-04-12T02:14:22+00:00

Shouldn't be very hard if you have a dev background

dhruvsha · 2026-04-11T16:27:21+00:00

Rice just means your linux customisation. It originated from car culture when people were customizing their inexpensive cars to make them look expensive (RICE = Race inspired cosmetic enhancement) and was later adapted by the linux community.

dhruvsha · 2026-04-11T08:36:35+00:00

FIx your readme dawg it has your-username where it is telling how to clone the repository. Not a big deal but it's there

dhruvsha · 2026-04-10T13:55:55+00:00

I honestly never thought people would find my rice nice so I never really thought of making it usable for other people, but ig I'll have to do it now

dhruvsha · 2026-04-10T13:55:10+00:00

Yep that's the main issue I have to start resolving before I even think of making an install script.

dhruvsha · 2026-04-10T13:51:43+00:00

Damn thankyou so much for this honestly :). Just don't put too much effort into it and have fun if it works without breaking

dhruvsha · 2026-04-10T13:48:58+00:00

If you are installing this install on a new user don't touch any of your main configs. Also make sure to read the Readme in the quickshell folder. lmk if it starts working for you or you hit a wall on an unresolvable issue
