hyprland with nvidia

[dos2unix]

The good news is.. I have wayland, hyprland, and the nividia open drivers all working together.
The bad news, after all that trouble, I'm really not a fan of keyboard-nav, tiling DE's. It's cool I guess,
but at the end of the day, I'll go back to KDE/Plasma.

The was not an RPM/copr install, this was a compile from scratch install.
I have a bash shell script that does pretty much the entire thing.

Been using exclusively Hyprland for something round a year and a half, maybe closer to two years now. WM's are not for everyone, especially when it's DIY. I've never understood why people act like Nvidia is difficult. Seems to be Intel users that generally have Nvidia problems though. It literally "just works" for me, after doing standard Nvidia prep, which is a 10 second process.

yeah, it feels like pain in the but.
when you use standard DE with 99% mouse only it's difficult to change that to mostly keyboard.

Right. I'd originally been a pretty avid KDE Plasma user most all of my time on Arch Linux up until Hyprland was introduced to me. I'd dabbled with Awesome, i3, and sway but never got into them. Hyprland was different for some reason.

It took me about 2 weeks to re-train my brain and develop a work flow that suited me. Now, I literally can't imagine using anything else. That said, I've been working on aoNIX-Eco (my Hyprland workflow daemon) this whole time; so it's literally 100% my own custom experience built to suit.

It's definitely one of those "You gotta want it" true enthusiast sort of things. Most people don't make their PC their personality though, so I can understand why most prefer the plug and play experience of KDE/GNOME ect. It is indeed convenient.

True, a while ago I was also considering to switch to Arch, but didn't for similar reason, I just don't have the energy needed to configure stuff.

I could before but something changed in my head, IDK if it's age or something else, but motivation like before is gone.
