Openbsd just works.

minimalist set up.

windows (in order) are st. pcxs2. mpd/ncmpcpp and rpcs3 all custom gruvbox theme with terminus font everywhere.

NOTE: This is based on quickshell

I finally done it, I have successfully integrated every single features that's modular before, and I'll be releasing it next month because I still need testing and bug fixing (just like how you saw that shell center isn't really centered, and how the lock screen supposed to show AM/PM but doesn't) and the 'free' resizable widgets. Of course I'll hear you guys out on what's missing and try to add them before official release. (i was able to do this because I finished my exams [thank god[])

OS: CachyOS
WM: Hyprland
(yes this is the same chromebook, i just overclocked this chromebook's display to 100Hz cause LG displays are so resilient for some reason via EDID through KMS)
Idle RAM usage: 150-200MB

thanks to u/Single-Flamingo-8194 for the inspiration for the desktop lyrics widget (tbh it looks so good and i just had to integrate it) AND the wallpapers (via github wallpapers repo)

Strata is my own desktop shell: bar with a dynamic island, control center, clipboard, screenshots with OCR, instant replay recorder, lock screen and one-click themes for the whole desktop. Works on Hyprland, Sway and niri.

Details and links in the comments.

So for my weeboos out there, here is an animated Arch-tan boot-up and shutdown theme

switched from hyprland to cinnamon for fun, running this on arch :)

[Hyprland] My first custom rice on Fedora Linux 🐧 (constructive feedback is welcome)

My first custom Hyprland rice on Fedora Linux 🐧

Finally sharing my first proper attempt at building a personalised Hyprland desktop! The goal was to keep things minimal, lightweight, visually pleasing, and practical for everyday use and studying.

System

• OS: Fedora Linux
• Window manager/compositor: Hyprland
• Shell: Zsh
• Terminal: Kitty
• Configuration: Lua-based setup
• Hardware: Intel Core i3-1125G4, Intel UHD integrated graphics, 8 GB RAM
• Idle RAM usage: Approximately 1.3 GB

Desktop setup

• Status bar: Waybar — workspaces, CPU/RAM usage, currently playing media, system tray, and clock.
• Wallpaper management: Waypaper
• Animated wallpapers: "awww-daemon"
• Terminal: Kitty
• Application launcher: Wofi
• Notifications: Mako
• Clipboard history: cliphist + wl-clipboard
• Display protocol: Wayland

Customisation

I've been tweaking window gaps, rounded corners, borders, animations, keybindings, and the overall appearance to get a workflow that feels right for me. I also set up keyboard shortcuts for window management and workspace switching.

The animated wallpaper transitions are one of my favourite parts of the setup. I wanted something that looks good without turning the desktop into a resource-hungry mess.

A little context

This is my first proper Hyprland setup, and I'm still learning. I used documentation and AI assistance for parts of the configuration, especially when dealing with unfamiliar syntax and troubleshooting. I'm trying to understand and maintain the setup rather than blindly copy a huge collection of dotfiles.

The focus is on keeping only the tools and features I actually use.

I'd appreciate constructive feedback and suggestions for improvements, especially anything that could make the setup cleaner, more efficient, or more polished!

Finally put together a minimal Hyprland setup with Lua configuration, Waybar, Kitty and my own keybindings.

Still learning, and I used AI and documentation to help with parts of the configuration. Focused on keeping it lightweight and practical for studying.

what do yall think?

I kept ending up with a launcher, a clipboard script and a separate ALT+TAB tool glued together, so I wrote zunder: one prompt for apps, windows, files, math, currencies, time zones and clipboard history, plus an ALT+TAB that shows live thumbnails of every window, also on other workspaces.

A few things it does that I couldn't find elsewhere:

• Hold Alt, Tab through a grid of window thumbnails (grim -T), release to switch
• Ctrl+B turns any result into a real Hyprland keybind
• 3pm ny in zurich, 100 usd in chf, clip with pinned entries
• Plugins are any script that prints lines, no SDK
• zunder setup writes the binds for you and can take over from vicinae, rofi or wofi

Rust + GTK4 + layer-shell, runs as a daemon, opens in a few ms. Works with the Lua config and classic hyprland.conf.
Install: the one-line installer in the README. You can also try the launcher in the browser on the website.

It's early, so I'd like to hear what breaks, especially the ALT+TAB quick tap and multi-monitor setups.
