I didn't even know that was possible but I think it would be the perfect solution, as long as it ran efficiently and managing the hotkeys between both sessions wasn't a problem. I wonder how that would work if you used the same configs. If it were possible to pull off, that would be the perfect combo: - A dedicated 1920x1080 recording zone, using Hyrpland's config file to automatically resize and position this Hyprla…

I've only used it for testing/debugging so I didn't need any of that capability. I'm not sure why they recommend avoiding exec in the config. Since it would still be under the same user session, dbus things could get wonky. Nested hyprland will automatically create/use ~/.config/hypr/hyprlandd.conf and you'll def want to have unique keybinds. If you haven't gone too crazy with keybinds, just changing the main mod key…

Thanks yeah, I didn't go too crazy with binds yet. Maybe ALT + TAB is the only thing that's not using the main mod key.

It's probably going to get complicated though due to wanting to run waybar, walker, wallpaper, etc. in the nested session but if you do anything that's going to modify its state in that session is also going to affect the outer one since only 1 process runs for those tools.

It's almost like you need a separate copy for everything that runs in exec but with a different process name too.

Somehow, DHH has tapped into an enthusiasm for Linux I haven't felt in a long time. It's so great to see and to experience it with him! When I first discovered Linux it started a journey, from wonder to pragmatism (Mandrake [2004] -> Slackware -> Ubuntu -> Arch -> NixOS [current]). I also spend many nights tweaking and re-tweaking, compiling kernels to get the maximum out of my desktops on rotating cubes with reflect…

(RedHat[Office Max] -> Yellow Dog -> Gentoo -> Arch). Moved from Gentoo to Arch because I was tired of compiling system updates. Was fun compiling when tweaking the kernel and compiler settings trying to maximize Doom 3 on Linux. Enemy Territory didn't need any tweaking. I don't mind new or more distros. Helps learn new ways of doing things to make Linux more presentable to others. Tools still needs to be presentable…

Hehe, I forgot to put Gentoo in there haha, for me Arch also felt like binary (and thus much faster to install!) Gentoo!

I love new distro's, especially paradigm shifting ones. Ubuntu at the time ("It just works"), Gentoo ("squeeze max performance out of my hardware and know it thoroughly") Arch ("So fresh, unmatched package availability through AUR"), NixOS ("My OS lives in Git, and that is where it is supposed to be") and the new Fedora silverblue/bootc stuff ("Get some of those cloud paradigms on my personal devices"). Although I haven't played with the latter, mostly because the advantages are NixOS like, and NixOS does it well, and I'm not done learning by a long shot, but it deserves some checking out, it's certainly a new paradigm.

>On the other hand, the Great Wayland Security Theater probably doesn't admit such riff-raff. I really tried switching over to sway / wayland a couple years back, but there were just so. many. things. which, despite wayland being 'the future' and 'ready for prime time' among proponents just bugged the heck out of me. Why is it an act of congress to setup screen sharing / recording. Like sure it works for this one for…

Thing have come so far in the past couple years that I'm not sure anything you mentioned is even a problem anymore. Global hotkeys work, pulse audio just works, screen sharing just works, redshifting is no issue? https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Binds/#global-keybinds https://wiki.hypr.land/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprsunset/ https://wiki.hypr.land/Useful-Utilities/Screen-Sharing/

> Hotkeys

Bullshit.

No one cares that I can go and register global hotkeys in the compositor config file. The whole point is that apps do it themselves. If you still want a security theater, then add a prompt or what macos has where you go give it permissions.

https://wearewaylandnow.com/

If you see the global hotkeys section. It still has a lot of caveats. Bonus: see what's needed for push to talk to work...

The benchmark before wayland becomes default is:

Do OBS start recording shortcuts work.

And does discord push to talk work.

Today on KDE and GNOME the answer is no.

Any distro/DE that pushes wayland as a default without the answer to both of these questions being yes is pure cancer.

For anyone interested, there is a dbus API to register shortcuts that I believe KDE supports, gnome does only since the last 6 months, and hyprland/sway don't, and likely won't. Obviously, app developers aren't going to use it with such fragmented support.

The world needs people like DHH. When he saw issues with the Apple ecosystem, decides to make useful, well thought-out tooling for helping developers adopt Linux. When he saw how expensive the cloud can be, goes on to build open source tooling for deploying on bare-metal servers. Both have been successful. Not just blog posts. Blog posts followed by hard work to fix the problem.

I like DHH because I like his taste. However there are lots of people like him. However he seems to have the ability to build movements, and I don't know why.

I genuinely don't understand this. It seems obtuse for the take of being obtuse with no real payoff. NixOS solves this problem comprehensively.

Nix is hard to get into. The lang is weird, and I'm a functional programmer. It's not very well documented. Flakes just don't seem to be documented at all? But are used everywhere?

This was true a couple of years ago. Now LLMs are well trained on it. Flakes are extensively documented.

Last time I checked hyprland was pretty much despised in the wider linux developer community. See for example https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html . Has anything about that changed?

Linking a know pedo's personal blog... Wow. If pedos hate hyprland, it's likely because hyprland is doing something right.
