MyDotHyprland-minimal

This is my absolute minimum to get Hyprland usable. Instalation is based on Arch Linux.
Some basics how to install Arch Linux you can find here:

What is Hyprland?

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

It supports multiple layouts, fancy effects, has a very flexible IPC model allowing for a lot of customization, a powerful plugin system and more. More information you can find here:

Optional

• Setting display resolution if needed:

  • Check displays:
    hyprctl monitors

  • If you need to change frequency:
    cat /sys/class/drm/card<NUMBER>-<interface>/modes
    For more detailed information we need to parse the output:

   sudo pacman -S read-edid
   cat /sys/class/drm/card<NUMBER>-<interface>/edid | parse-edid
  

  Change display settings in:
  ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
  for example from:
  monitor=,preferred,auto,auto
  to:

   # monitor = name, resolution position, scale
   monitor = DP-2,     2560x1440@144, 0x0,    1
   monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@144, 2560x0, 1
   # workspace = name, number
   workspace = DP-2,     1
   workspace = HDMI-A-1, 2
  

• Sound settings

  • Check sound card visibility:
    pacmd list-cards
    If not visible install additional drivers:
    pacman -S sof-firmware
