If you updated Hyprland yesterday you likely have to rework your conf file

Looks like there's a breaking change in the syntax of the hyprland.conf file that came from yesterday's update, as now things like blur_passes = ... don't work anymore and need to be just passes = ... inside a blur namespace (not even sure this is the appropriate term?), ie something like:

    blur {
        enabled = false
        size = 3
        passes = 3
        new_optimizations = true
    }

It was enough for me to wipe my computer and try kde on Gentoo. I might come back, my patience runs short.

....you switched distros because an unrelated window manager config changed?

Nah, I just like to learn new things.

Very based from your part tbh

There was no hate, just an excuse to drop an unfinished project and learn something new.

You are the most based individual I know of.

I wonder why they chose this weird nonstandard config format instead of something like TOML

Mmmh last upgrade is hyprland 0.28.0-1 for me. This new config generates error message...

Mine was updated to that version too. My config snippet was just an example to highlight that prefixes don't work anymore but the blur namespace itself has to be inside decoration, like this:

decoration {
    rounding = 5
    blur {
        enabled = false
        size = 3
        passes = 3
        new_optimizations = true
    }
    drop_shadow = yes
    shadow_range = 2
    shadow_render_power = 3
    col.shadow = rgba(1a1a1aee)
}
