ags VS hyprdots

Lots of what the article talks about pertains to the difference between a 'full DE' and 'just a WM'. Gnome and KDE fall in the first category. They have a notification system, lockscreens, app launcher, etc by default. Hyprland doesn't. It puts windows on your screen and allows you to control their layout, everything beyond that, you can add yourself.

This article mentions dunst for notifications, Rofi for app launchers, Waybar for a status bar, swaylock for screen locking, ... I've been having a great time using just AGS [0]. AGS, at its core, is a framework to write all of those tools. It is based on the same technology that Gnome Shell uses, i.e. GJS. You can build up all of the widgets you want and need using Gtk and replace all of the tools I mentioned before. But be warned: AGS only provides you with the libraries you need, you'll still need to build the UI yourself. Unless you copy someone else's configuration of course ;)

If you want to get a system running from scratch quickly, and avoid the 'two days of setup' problem, I strongly recommend hyprdots. A lot of the things you'd be forced to manually find and install come pre-installed and configured.

Hi, Linux Noob here. I installed hyprland on endeavourOS by using this script. System booted normally, I login in into my account and resolution changed from 1920x1080 to 800x600 and shows only 50% of screen, and theres invisible mouse cursor. I tried running kitty terminal to change resolution by using xrander but when I open kitty terminal nothing happens. I tried opening others terminals but just getting a frozen system, even VMware freezes.

I recently started exploring the world of Arch and i now want to set up hyprland in my VM (I'm quite new to all of this). I tried to install it using https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots/tree/main both in VirtualBox and VMware, but after the installation and logging in I can't really do anything since I can't see my cursor, the resolution seems to be a little messed up and the keybind seem to not work.

I am new to linux and tried to use Hyprland, used https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots script, everything works fine, except when i go to suspend and then wake up, i login with sddm and a new session starts and all previous open windows and applications are lost. It's like i restarted the pc. Help please if anyone is familiar with this issue. Thanks.

What I'm currently doing is looking at the scripts from https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots and trying to pick out stuffs one by one.
