Is there any immutable distro that’s based on Hyprland? I really like their approach to tiling, but at the same time I prefer to have a solid experience without worrying that the next update might break some dependencies.
No distro is really based on a window manager or desktop environment. Some provide defaults and premade configs. I kind of doubt any include hyprland as an option at installation, but, Wayland compatibility notwithstanding, there’s nothing stopping you from throwing hyprland on whatever you would like. The best approach is to take a Wayland-ready setup, like Leaflet suggests, and just install hyprland.
This distro uses it https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue
Well there ya go! I figured it was still too niche.
Ublue provides a really solid base template that makes it very easy to do stuff like this, all the heavy lifting of a distro is done by fedora, ublue adds the codecs and drivers and build system for updates.
Wouldn’t be unreasonable to make your own distro with it honestly.
You can install Fedora Atomic Sway then install Hyprland on that with
rpm-ostree install hyprland.Or you can install fedora without any de
There is Fedora CoreOS (meant for servers), but I’ve never tried installing a desktop on that.
This is the easiest way imo
Hyprland is a window manager, not a distro. You should be asking if there is a immutable distro with solid hyprland support (which there is). https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nix/Hyprland-on-NixOS/
I’ve seen quite a few people rocking NixOS with Hyperland. And I thought the whole idea of Nix was to be more stable than most rolling releases?
I don’t use either so I’m far from an expert on this.
I’m one of those people, they make a surprisingly good combo
If you’re doing nix right it doesn’t matter how unstable something is if it’s borked you just revert it
Have generally found hyprland to be pretty stable anyway though as long as you’re not on the unstable nix channel
You could try Guix (either standalone or Guix system). You can have a immutable profile, an immutable home environment with centralized configuration and much more!
The ability of having immutable environment and dotfile configurations is amazing.
