As [previously mentioned](../Getting-Started/Quick-start/#wrapping-the-launcher-recommended), it's
useful using a wrapper to launch Hyprland. Whether you start Hyprland through TTY or a Display
Manager, it is always suggested to use one. As such, you can pass certain environment
variables to improve Wayland compatibility, or simply change certain aspects of your desktop.
Please avoid putting those environment variables in /etc/environment. That will cause all
sessions (including Xorg ones) to pick up your wayland-specific environment on traditional
Linux distros.
# XDG Specifications
- `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Hyprland`
- `XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland`
- `XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=Hyprland`
XDG specific environment variables are often detected through portals and applications that may
set those for you, however it is a good idea to provide them in your wrapper script as a fail-safe.
# QT Variables
- `QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1` - [(From the QT documentation)](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html)
enables automatic scaling, based on the monitor's pixel density
- `QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"` - Tell QT applications to use the Wayland backend, and fall back to x11 if Wayland is unavailable
- `QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1` - Disables window decorations on QT applications
- `QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct` - Tells QT based applications to pick your theme from qt5ct, use with Kvantum.
# NVIDIA Specific
To force GBM as a backend, set the following environment variables:
- `GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm`
- `__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia`
> See [Archwiki Wayland Page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Requirements) for more details on those variables.
- `LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia` - Hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs
> See [Archwiki Hardware Acecleration Page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration)
> for details and necessary values before setting this variable.
- `__GLX_GSYNC_ALLOWED` - Controls if G-Sync capable monitors should use Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
> See [Nvidia Documentation](https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-32bit-ARM/375.26/README/openglenvvariables.html) for details.
- `__GL_VRR_ALLOWED` - Controls if Adaptive Sync should be used. Recommended to set as "0" to avoid having problems on some games.
- `WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC=1` - use legacy DRM interface instead of atomic mode setting. Might fix flickering issues.
# Toolkit Backend Variables
- `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland` - Run SDL2 applications on Wayland. Remove or set to x11 if games that provide older versions of SDL cause
compatibility issues
- `_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONEREPARENTING=1` - Fix possibly broken Java applications. Set to 1 until Wakefield is available.
- `CLUTTER_BACKEND="wayland"` - Clutter package already has wayland enabled, this variable will force Clutter applications
to try and use the Wayland backend
- `GDK_BACKEND` - Force backend for wayland-enabled GTK3 and GTK4 backends. Available options are "wayland" or "x11". If GTK XWayland
applications cause issues when set to "wayland", try "wayland,x11"
# Theming Related Variables
- `GTK_THEME` - Set a GTK theme manually, for those who want to avoid appearance tools lxappearance or nwg-look
- `XCURSOR_THEME` - Set your cursor theme. The theme needs to be installed and readable by your user.
- `XCURSOR_SIZE` - Set cursor size. See [here](../FAQ/) for why you might want this variable set.

> Why is the config variable getting so weird?
Every variable from the config needs to be found in a hashmap. To limit the amount of hashmap searches, getting a config option looks like this:

Since the hashmap *cannot* be mutated during runtime, this pointer will always be valid, and will not require hashmap lookups every single time it's read.

# How do I update?
*These instructions are ONLY for systemd. If you use anything else, you should
know what you're doing.*
Open a terminal where you cloned the repo.
```bash
git pull
sudo make clear
sudo make cleaninstall
```
Launch `coredumpctl` in a terminal. Press <key>END</key> on the keyboard to go
to the end. Note the **last** (the one furthest to the bottom) crash that has
`/usr/bin/Hyprland` as an executable. Remember the PID of it (the first number
after the date in a given line) exit (<key>Ctrl</key>+<key>C</key>) type
`coredumpctl info PID` where `PID` is the remembered PID. Send the entire thing
as a file.
If you are using the AUR (hyprland-git) package, you
will need to cleanbuild to update the package. Paru
has been problematic with updating before, use Yay.
### How do I update?
open a terminal where you cloned the repo.
`git pull && sudo make clear && sudo make install`
### Waybar popups render behind the windows??
You have misconfigured Waybar. Make sure the `layer` in the waybar config is set to `top`, and not `bottom`.
### How do I screen lock?
# How do I screen lock?
Use a wayland-compatible locking utility using WLR protocols, e.g. `swaylock`.
### How do I change me mouse cursor?
# How do I change me mouse cursor?
Use a tool like for example `lxappearance` to change the GTK cursor.
After that, add `exec-once=hyprctl setcursor [THEME] [SIZE]` to your config and
restart Hyprland.
For QT applications, Hyprland exports XCURSOR_SIZE as 24, which is the default.
You can overwrite this by exporting XCURSOR_SIZE to a different value in your wrapper.
Alternatively, change the config files manually according to the
[XDG specification (Arch Wiki link)](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes#Configuration).

Once you have flakes working, install Hyprland through `nix profile`:
```sh
$ nix profile install github:hyprwm/Hyprland
nix profile install github:hyprwm/Hyprland

Since you're using Hyprland outside of NixOS, it won't be able to find graphics
drivers. To get around that, you can use [nixGL](https://github.com/guibou/nixGL).
First, install it, in the same manner you installed Hyprland:
```sh
$ nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL --impure
nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL --impure
```
Impure is needed due to `nixGL`'s reliance on hardware information.
From now on, you can run Hyprland by invoking it with nixGL
```sh
$ nixGL Hyprland
nixGL Hyprland

or by creating a wrapper script that runs the above command inside.

While it does infringe on Discord's ToS, it's relatively safe and doesn't rely on any webview technologies.
## Spotify
Spotify does not follow window rules. This is because the client sets is class _after_
the window has opened, thus making it "immune" to windowrules. An alternative to
Spotify's GUI client is [spotify-tui](https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui) which can be
launched in a terminal with a custom class. While limited in functionality, it is quite
powerful and could be preferred over the GUI client.
Some users have also reported [installing spotifywm](https://github.com/amurzeau/spotifywm) has resolved
the issue. The original repository by [`dasJ`](https://github.com/dasJ/spotifywm) is no longer working because of some changes made in the newer
Spotify version, and until the pull request gets merged, [`amurzeau's fork`](https://github.com/amurzeau/spotifywm) does the job.
After following the installation paragraph on the README, start Spotify with:
```bash
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/spotifywm.so spotify
```
The path **MUST** be the absolute one. If it's not, the hack will not work.
Now you can freely manage your Spotify client. Always use `class` to manage the
window. For example:
```ini
windowrulev2 = tile, class:^(Spotify)$
windowrulev2 = workspace 9, class:^(Spotify)$

If you want to use the workspaces module, it's called `wlr/workspaces`.
If you want to use the workspaces module, first, copy the configuration files from
`/etc/xdg/waybar/` into `~/.config/waybar/`. Then, in `~/.config/waybar/conf/` replace
all the references to `sway/workspaces/` with `wlr/workspaces`.
For more info regarding configuration, see
[The Waybar Wiki](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki).
## Eww
## Waybar popups render behind the windows
In `~/.config/waybar/config`, make sure that you have the `layer` configuration
set to `top` and not `bottom`.
## Active workspace doesn't show up
Replace `#workspaces button.focus` with `#wroskapces button.active` in `~/.config/style.css`.
## Scrolling through workspaces
Since there a lot of configuration options from `sway/workspaces` are missing, you
should deduce some of them by yourself. In the case of scrolling, it should look like this:
```json
"wlr/workspaces": {
"format": "{icon}",
"on-scroll-up": "hyprctl dispatch workspace e+1",
"on-scroll-down": "hyprctl dispatch workspace e-1"
}
```
## Clicking on a workspace icon does not work!
On the `wlr/workspaces` module, add `"on-click": "activate"`. That's the purpose of
the `sed` command used before building Waybar: the default way to select a workspace by
clicking uses the `swaymsg`'s way, and thus it is required to edit
this function to make it work with `hyprctl`.
