[Hyprland] First Steps

My first time setting something up without a DE. I have a lot to learn and a long way until I have an actually usable desktop (or system), but I'm excited and very satisfied so far. Any good ressources for beginners are appreciated.

@CyberEgg man all those custom desktops really want me to rice my own soon! (Even though I'm not professional at using Arch or a WM)

It's always so cool to see people starting with WM's and no DE! It's all I'm able to use nowadays. For this setup, all I'd really recommend right now is installing a nerdfont of your choice so you get the icons appearing correctly on your waybar, and if you want a more customizable terminal emulator I use alacritty with alacritty-themes. Kitty could be quite customizable though too, I haven't delved into it much :)

Thanks, I'll look into it!

I'm happy with kitty so far, actually I just have it because it's the default terminal with keybinds in Hyprland

Thank, but it's just a DHCP address.

What a difficult task in a /24 subnet.

I need a good laugh, so please tell me what you think that information could help you do.

I mean, you could have just said that you want to learn. Instead, you act like any given script kid since the dawn of the internet that says 'ha ha, I got your IP now I'm gonna hack you'

Nah. I want to build something up from the ground.

Fair enough, hope it goes well :)

Oh, I'm expecting stuff to go wrong. Otherwise I wouldn't learn as much.

True, I'm dumb as shit with linux so sticking with a very friendly distro is a safe bet for me

The perfect system is what you feel the most comfortable with.
