Hi all,
Is there a current summary of how usable Garuda Hyprland is now?
ie, is it good enough for use as a daily driver, or still a few deal-breakers that prevent it being used as a full-time environment?
Anyone installed eg Plasma as a backup DE session on Garuda Hyprland?
Thanks! 
It honestly depends on what your use cases are.
I daily drive mine, and it’s worked fine for whatever I need it to work for.
Are you looking for changing settings via config files? Or do you prefer a GUI?
I can take screenshots just fine with the default screenshot Garuda includes.
I haven’t tested screensharing on it though. I’m running the Linux-Clear kernel also since I run an Intel CPU. Really snappy.
For programming, it’s working just fine for me.
Honestly, what are your use cases for “daily driving” it?
Gaming and audio editing mostly. I was using Hyprland on Arch for a few months, but I just don’t have time to constantly tweak things any more, so i’m hoping the Garuda guys are a lot better at it than I am, so I can spend more time using it, instead of making it usable.
I do prefer a GUI now, but ok with config files as long as i’m not tinkering with them constantly,
Sounds like you want a gaming setup that just works, right?
If that’s the case, use the Dr460nized Version Gaming Edition. You’ll have to tweak config files for about everything in Hyprland.
NVIDIA drivers with Wayland are still wonky every other update it seems. Just my thought.
I’ve run that edition on my Gaming PC for a few years
I want Hyprland on my AMD laptop though, as I really liked it. I’m just curious as to how usable it is, as configured by the Garuda guys. I don’t mind tweaking it, as long as I don’t have to do it on a daily basis, just to get things to work. I’m more concerned about any major issues that might prevent other software from running on it.
I don’t use NVidia anymore, so no worries there.
I could take another look at Sway too. Wayland is a must for me, as is Pipewire, and Steam.
Just test it with the live ISO, not as fast as on metal.
On a rolling release, there is no guaranty to have no upstream problems.
But Garuda uses Btrfs snapshots so you can roll back after update problems.
Ankur and I are trying to fix Garuda Hyprland problems as fast as possible. 
You can also install KDE and Hyprland side by side, just to be safe
Well, if you really don’t want to make your hands dirty on config then , you can try garuda Hyprland , whenever you find some error messages after update then you can run this command :
cp /etc/skel/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf ~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf
it will copy the latest hyprland config that is there in garuda Hyprland
also , we have G-Hyprland , if you ever get some error messages in hyprland that this xyz thing is not supported , then you just need to disable and enable it again .
here are some videos on G-Hyprland :
Remember that , through these methods your personal configs will be over written , you will always have default config , that’s all I can say
And also as SGS said, Hyprland can sometimes not work as expected , and we can’t predict it , you will need to better try yourself 
And Happy New Year 
Danke!
I did boot the ISO for a quick look. I forgot about the snapshots, so that will take a lot of pressure off. Hopefully I won’t need KDE, but good to know I can, thaks.
Is there a dedicated Garuda Hyprland forum or something, to keep up with issues etc?
There are categories in the forum, for separating each garuda flavor’s topic
The forum is for all the spins that are provided by garuda , there is no dedicated forum for any flavor
Wow, the G-Hyprland looks great for playing with configs easily! That should save me a lot of time and frustration while I get to learning it properly.
Thanks! And HNY to you too!
