Hyprland

Hyprland is intentionally scoped to nix-haxorus. Other hosts keep the shared GNOME/GDM baseline and do not inherit Hyprland, Waybar, rofi, mako, or related user services.

Session Model

Hyprland uses UWSM. In GDM, choose the Hyprland (uwsm-managed) session.

UWSM wraps the compositor as a systemd-managed Wayland session. That gives cleaner environment propagation, XDG autostart behavior, and shutdown handling than launching the compositor as a plain process.

Companion Apps

App	Role
Ghostty	Default terminal.
Zellij	Terminal workspace launched through Ghostty.
rofi	App and run launcher.
Waybar	Panel.
hyprpaper	Wallpaper service.
hypridle	Idle handling.
hyprlock	Lock screen.
mako	Notifications.
grim, slurp, satty	Screenshot flow.

Ghostty is shared config, but Hyprland binds it directly with Super-Return. Super-Z launches ghostty -e zellij.
