This page documents software that is critical / very important to have running for a smooth
|
||
|
|
Wayland / Hyprland experience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DEs like KDE / Gnome will do this automatically, Hyprland will not (because you might want to use something else)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### A notification daemon
|
||
|
|
_Starting method:_ most likely manual (`exec-once`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many apps (e.g. Discord) may freeze without one running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use e.g. `dunst`, `mako`, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Pipewire
|
||
|
|
_Starting method:_ automatic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pipewire is not necessairly required, but screensharing will not work
|
||
|
|
without it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install `pipewire` and `wireplumber` (**not** `pipewire-media-session`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### XDG Desktop Portal
|
||
|
|
_Starting method:_ Automatic on Systemd, manual otherwise
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XDG Desktop Portal handles a lot of stuff for your desktop, like file pickers,
|
||
|
|
screensharing, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See [The Hyprland Desktop Portal Page](../Hyprland-desktop-portal)

### Authentication Agent
|
||
|
|
_Starting method:_ manual (`exec-once`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Authentication agents are the things that pop up a window asking you for a password whenever
|
||
|
|
an app wants to elevate its privileges.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our recommendation is the KDE one. For arch, it's `polkit-kde-agent`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can autostart it with `exec-once=/usr/lib/polkit-kde-authentification-agent-1`.
