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`.
