Alright, before you chime in with any AMD>Nvidia nonsense you should know that A: I don't care, and B: I had it working PERFECTLY until I uninstalled KDE Plasma in hopes to depend fully on Hyprland as my go-to environment.

Now, suddenly applications like signal-desktop, spotify-launcher and even visual-studio-code-bin all fail to launch.

examples:
Code: 
$ spotify-launcher

$ code
as you can see, code has no output at all and simply fails to launch.

Let me first start off by informing you that I've followed these steps, so it's safe to assume I have taken the appropriate measures to ensure comparability with my Nvidia 4090 GPU.

I.e. the appropriate nvidia drivers are installed, and

Code: 
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES=(... nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm ...)
Code: 
options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1
are all set as well as

Code: 
env = LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME,nvidia
env = __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME,nvidia
being set in the ~/.config/hypr/hyperland.conf


rebuilt initramfs with sudo mkinitcpio -P


I installed hyprland using the hyprland-git

Yes, I do have xorg-xwayland installed.

All packages have been updated using
yay -Syu --devel

I have export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 but this didn't resolve anything either, even when put into my .zshrc file.

Code: 
╰$ echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY

wayland-0
Code: 
╰$ ps aux | grep hyprland

I'm not sure what was removed/done when uninstalling KDE plasma to break my system but it's become so aggravating that I have no choice but to ask the community for help. Either I'm too close to the problem, or it's above my pay grade as I've seemingly run out of ideas. I was going to share the xorg log but it's rather lengthy and figured I'd spare you.

I appreciate any input you may have, and the time you take to share it in the event you chose to do so.
Thank you.

EDIT: Tilix (terminal) and Firefox, Nemo and such all work as expected. I'm using the rig as we speak; so it's semi-functional.

Alright, before you chime in with any AMD>Nvidia nonsense you should know that A: I don't care, and B: I had it working PERFECTLY until I uninstalled KDE Plasma in hopes to depend fully on Hyprland as my go-to environment.

Uninstalling KDE Plasma might have removed some dependencies or configurations that other applications rely on. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this:

  1. Check for Missing Dependencies: Some applications might depend on libraries or services that were removed with KDE Plasma. You can try reinstalling the applications to ensure all dependencies are met:
    sudo pacman -S signal-desktop spotify-launcher visual-studio-code-bin

  2. Reinstall D-Bus: Since many applications rely on D-Bus for inter-process communication, reinstalling it might help:
    sudo pacman -S dbus
    sudo systemctl restart dbus

  3. Check for Configuration Files: Sometimes, old configuration files can cause issues. Try moving or renaming the configuration directories for the problematic applications:
    mv ~/.config/Signal ~/.config/Signal.bak
    mv ~/.config/spotify ~/.config/spotify.bak
    mv ~/.config/Code ~/.config/Code.bak

  4. Log Files: Check the log files for any error messages that might give a clue about what's going wrong. You can find logs in /var/log or by running the applications from the terminal to see the output.
  5. Reinstall KDE Plasma: If the above steps don't work, you might consider reinstalling KDE Plasma to restore any missing dependencies, and then carefully remove it again if you still prefer Hyprland.
 
I'd actually attempted most of those suggestions (thank you for taking the time to read all this nonsense btw).

I ended up getting so frustrated that I just did a fresh install; things are seemingly running smoothly now! Will report back later this evening once I've had a chance to try and configure; maybe share my first "rice" on hyprland lol.

So far, Steam, Signal, Spotify, and Code all launching as to be expected!
 
Well, it only took me most the day to get up to speed. Lil bit of tidying up to do in terms of color theming to do yet but overall she's functional!
