I am not able to use iGPU as the primary renderer for Hyprland, the setup used to work fine before, but doesn't work now (for some reason I wasn't able to debug. I checked the wiki, but that only mentions AQ_DRM_DEVICES which is properly set as I understand. I am Arch.

A problem with the previous setup was that if I started any game on the dGPU, then Hyprland too switched to the dGPU, even after closing the game, which inhibited sleep, ate battery, and needed a reboot to fix.

How do I fix this?

I present to anyone a hyperlang to Lua converter. I have tested it on my own config and though not completely perfect it converted close to 95% of the code for me.

If you run into any bugs please let me know so I can address it right away.

I just had a problem building the hyprland configuration in Lua. After reading, researching, and racking my brain, I managed to get it working. Now, whether it's correct or not, I don't know, I just know it's working. When I thought it was solved, the navigation bar stopped working because I was using `hyprctl dispatch`, and that doesn't work in Lua. It's mandatory to use `hyprctl eval 'hl.config(...)'`. These are somewhat annoying differences to figure out and adapt to, but with patience, it works.

I'm trying to make a bind that will close all windows in my active workspace, this is what I came up with.

hl.bind(mod .. "+ SHIFT + W", function()
    for i, window in ipairs(hl.get_windows({ workspace = hl.get_active_workspace() })) do
        hl.timer(function()
            hl.dispatch(hl.dsp.window.close(window))
        end, { timeout = i * 50, type = "oneshot" })
    end
end)

Only thing that's throwing me off is how I needed to include the timer in it, calling window.close directly in the for loop-

hl.bind(mod .. "+ SHIFT + W", function()
    for _, window in ipairs(hl.get_windows({ workspace = hl.get_active_workspace() })) do
        hl.dispatch(hl.dsp.window.close(window))
    end
end)

-causes only one window to close rather than all of them.

So is there a way to do this without timer or is this my best bet?

I have no past experiences in lua, and i've been thinking about moving to lua in terms of config files in hyprland. What are some meaningful advantages I get from changing my config files to lua?

how do i cursorzoom in v0.55+? i used to have
"bind = SUPER, F1, exec, hyprctl -q keyword cursor:zoom_factor 1

binde = SUPER, F2, exec, hyprctl -q keyword cursor:zoom_factor $(hyprctl getoption cursor:zoom_factor | awk '/^float.*/ {v = $2 * 1.1; print (v > 3 ? 3 : v)}')

bind = SUPER, F3, exec, hyprctl -q keyword cursor:zoom_factor 1.75"
but keywords dont work anymore and i dont see any keyword or cursor zoom equivalent in the wiki. ik it still exists bc
"hl.gesture({

fingers = 2,

direction = "pinchin",

action = "cursorZoom",

zoom_level = 1.25,

mode = "mult",

})

hl.gesture({

fingers = 2,

direction = "pinch",

action = "cursorZoom",

zoom_level = 1,

mode = "live",

})" works tho. any help is appreciated, thanks!

So basically I love Fedora. I had to shift to windows because of work stuff but now that it's done, I am going back to fedora. I knew Hyprland is best on Arch, but I still wanted it. After some high difficulty, I somehow installed it. The problem is that, I have Nvidia graphic card on my Asus Laptop, which is worse in this situation.

1. The first issue is that when I log in, the hardware cursor stays on screen and it never disappears. While the second cursor which is active keeps moving. I tried to ask GPT and other old forums, but none worked.

2. The log in screen is always the default one, Gnome. So I can't configure the HyprLock with it. I have to first log in through Default Fedora Gnome screen and then it goes to HyprLock. I tried to disable Gnome desktop manager, it ended up in disaster.

Please help.

After years with Gnome and then Openbox, I switched to Awesome, which had a Lua config.

Then I used Qtile for a while, which is written and configured in Python. You could inject random stuff deep into the window manager. The config is just a module. This was quite unstable.

After a while, I switched to i3 and used it for almost 10 years.

Eventually, it was time to try out Wayland, but just switching to Sway felt like a compromise, so I switched to Hyprland in January. It took a while to get everything working again, and now I have to switch to a Lua config again.

I'm not complaining, I just think it's funny.
