After installation of Open Suse and Hyprland (Wofi, Waybar, etc.) I saw your video. I am a Debian fan and really would love a Hyprland option when installing Debian. In the meantime, Hyprland is a blast.
Nice to see you around! Really, I think Debian Sid/Trixie is the only *comfortable* way to use minimal Wayland compositors on a Debian machine. Everything is moving too fast to be worth even one build of wlroots behind everyone else. Building from source works, but on a stable release like Debian Bookworm, you run the risk of fragility where it can bite you in the long run. So, I would personally stick to BSPWM or i3 on Debian 12.
Thank you for this. curious, not criticism, why you didn't start with a testing net install ISO to save time / effort having to upgrade to 'testing' Not a big deal since install was so minimal Until debian gets farther along (IMHO) Running hyprland on Debian is fun and entertaining but not as daily driver. Which is too bad A video on building a waybar from scratch might be very popular. I grabbed one of mine but found that some things like nwg-drawer don't seem available for Debian Update: the source for nwg-drawer compiled ! So it's good start You shoud try that on future videos and setting up sway notification center It is years ahead of DUNST or MAKU Thats my next goal
Once you install through Expert mode, jump to Execute a shell after Configure the package manager. Chroot into target and modify sources.list from there. Then go back Select and install software, you will finish the installation straightforward into Testing/Trixie.
I installed Sway in Debian Bookworm, didn't work very well. My heart did scream TESTING!!! But my Debian Bookworm is my mainstream...I am now enjoying Qtile Wayland in Arch, configuring it a lot like DTOS
I'm a Debian guy also (even named one of my pups Debian). Do you get any weird messages in blue when you boot up Trixie? I normally use Testing but the new blue messages sent me back to Bookworm out of instability fears. I think it may be related to the plymouth package but I'm unsure.
One comment on stable vs. testing: recently, I was trying Trixie + Openbox in a vm. It appeared that lxappearance was crashing all the time (obconf wasn't doing better). To set up the gtk themes I had to grab the sources and dependencies of lxappearance and recompile the whole thing. After that it worked. As for a Hyprland setup on Debian: one has to consider that there is stuff not packaged by Debian. So you cannot simply do an apt update + upgrade. You have to fetch the git sources and compile them again everytime Hyprland gets a new version number. So this is not for the lazy type of a guy.
Since Debian launched Bookworm, I switched to Debian. But why? Because the older versions were not suitable for me. Only the Bookworm version sparked my interest.
out of curiosity (as a linux noob), how did you suss out the dependency list for hyprland on debian? i couldnt see anything in the installation guide on the hyprland website regarding debian installation, and I also noticed the dependency list you used is different than the one they provided for ubuntu. edit: or is it, barring the wayland dependencies?
Не работает ваш скрипт автоустановки. На 04-hyprland постоянно какие то ошибки, сразу он не мог создать каталог wayland-sessins, а потом вообще выдал поочередно makefile error 1, makefile error 2, makefile error 1
Great, I'm going to try Hyprland again since I tried it a year ago and I loved it, but there were certain complications with the use of some applications (libreoffice for example). I hope they have been resolved. Greetings and thanks for the video.
