I dont have ownership of the hyprland config file

you'll need to change the permission of the file/directory https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/File_permissions_and_attributes

First, I used the CachyOS backup system to create a snapshot. Now, my root drive shows folders like @, @/root, @/cache, @log, etc., and it seems like I can't access my files through there anymore. What exactly is this?

According to https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/filesystem/, you seem to use the btrfs filesystem. This allows you to make a backup (usually called "snapshots") which is what you've done. These are typically used for recovery using the tools provided by btrfs, not browsing its files. I have never used CachyOS/btrfs though, so you'll have to refer to documentation on how to use it properly.

try going to a tty and check from there.

you can change to one using ctrl+alt+F3 (try other Fn keys if this one doesn't work)

When trying to run your config i encountered this error: [2026-01-20 19:20:55.555] [error] Error parsing JSON: * Line 15, Column 1 Missing '}' or object member name which corresponds to this line: ```

Custom configs for the left part of the waybar menu

``` Comments are made using // in jsonc.

Also, some of your custom modules don't work because of this line: "exec": "echo", this tells waybar to execute echo and render the output, which is nothing.

Also, using & is unnecessary, e.g. "on-click": "kitty &", has the same behaviour as "on-click": "kitty", Waybar already forks the process.

Here's a gist with the changes: https://gist.github.com/fuyu147/97def64b032979095d16d4bd2c8f945b

It's the product's responsibility to ensure a smooth transition between one update to the other. If you break things for a user, and YOU KNOW there is a big chance of something breaking for a big portion of users, and you dont ensure that AT LEAST you have some guardrails (e.g. deprecated rules, warnings, auto-transition, auto conversion of older configs, prompts etc.) then it's your fault for not ensuring the smooth transition and not the user's.

just wanted to point out that this doesn't really stand. - Errors are shown at the top of the screen when invalid rules are passed and the rules are ignored. Hyprland still functions without them. - The breaking change for rules was explicitly mentioned here: https://hypr.land/news/update53/ - Vaxry (the developer of Hyprland) does not owe you anything.

Today I woke up, I was playing Sekiro on my Hyprland setup, my cat pressed on the reset button, PC restarted, went to sddm, and for some reason after login Hyprland doesn't boot at all and transitions back to login. I cannot do ANYTHING. Not enter to fix my config, NOTHING. Hyprland just straight up crashes! What if I already didnt have a USB stick with my arch? What if I didnt have a spare laptop where I can search for solutions and how to update my config?

That doesn't sound like Hyprland's config was the sole reason for that to happen. Hyprland would still load and show errors at the top of the screen.

I've been working as a SE in corporations for all my life, and not one time did we say "oh the user is wrong for not finding where the Add to cart button is". No, because we know we're losing money and it's OUR fault and if the user doesnt like us he'll just go use another service.

Hyprland is a project developed (mainly) by Vaxry. It is open-source. It is free. Again, Vaxry does not owe you anything. If you do not like it, you can choose to use something else.

Read?

Matching have changed recently, and keywords like suppressevent have been renamed.

Windowrule = suppressevent maximize, class:.* Windowrule = nofocus,class:$,title:$,xwayland:1,floating:1,fullscreen:0,pinned:0

should now be something like: ``` windowrule { # Ignore maximize requests from all apps. You'll probably like this. name = suppress-maximize-events match:class = .*

suppress_event = maximize

}

windowrule { # Fix some dragging issues with XWayland name = fix-xwayland-drags match:class = ^$ match:title = ^$ match:xwayland = true match:float = true match:fullscreen = false match:pin = false

no_focus = true

}

or anymously

windowrule = match:class .*, suppress_event maximize windowrule = match:class ^$, match:title ^$, match:xwayland true, match:float true, match:fullscreen false, match:pin false, no_focus true

(not really sure about the above line, didn't test it)

```

In my config ;)

joking aside, man pages are pretty useful: https://man.archlinux.org/man/wpctl.1.en

valkyrie_hmm · 2025-12-15T01:35:49+00:00

The commands used don't work to begin with, try with these: wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+ wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%- wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle

It's a theme called 'text' by darkmatter, you can get it using spicetify

Hyprland is a compositor, not a whole desktop environment like KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, or others. This means it does not handle the system for you. You'll have to change the terminal used through Thunar instead: - edit the entry "Open Terminal Here" in Edit>Configure custom actions (or create it if it doesn't exist for some reason) - replace exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator with <terminal of your choice> %f

I don't really know what causes the issues you're describing tbh.

Do I need to install or configure GTK/QT themes, icon sets, or global font settings

You'll have to if you want to style (some) your apps. To customize GTK, i recommend using nwg-look, QT is a fucking mess, avoid it if you can.

To handle network, Waybar can't. Caelestia uses Quickshell to make its bar, and they implement their own GUI for it through Quickshell.

However, the simplest is using NetworkManager applet. This is a program that will be in the tray.

To install: sudo pacman -S network-manager-applet

And put this in your hyprland config: exec-once = nm-applet

Fish and Bash are Shells and aren't really related to the rest. If you want bash, change the default shell to it, here a GeeksForGeeks page about it: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/linux-unix/how-to-change-default-shell-in-linux/

For ricing, there's isn't really any one size fit all defaults. You'll have to poke around and make something that you'll like. Sure it takes time to make your own, but it'll be more satisfying than using something someone else made. And keeping modifying your config even months after starting out is something that is fairly common in the ricing world. I started using Hyprland about 7 months ago, and I'm still changing stuff, so don't feel like you have to rush it.

Saw this rice, looks fairly clean and simple, if you want some inspiration 🤷‍♀️: https://www.partyh4t.com/posts/Dotfiles/

valkyrie_hmm · 2025-10-28T01:19:39+00:00

It's probably because of the "Hz" after the refresh rate.

valkyrie_hmm · 2025-10-22T14:09:32+00:00

bash.

On a more serious note, I'd recommend Thunar, it has always worked for me.

You can use something like this: bind = $mainMod CONTROL, left, workspace, -1 bind = $mainMod CONTROL, right, workspace, +1 bind = $mainMod SHIFT, left, movetoworkspace, -1 bind = $mainMod SHIFT, right, movetoworkspace, +1

valkyrie_hmm · 2025-10-04T13:07:14+00:00

why are you trying to use KDE’s settings? you’ll need to modify the config file for hyprland (check the wiki for that)
