title: Hyprland on NixOS
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The NixOS module enables critical components needed to run Hyprland properly,
|
|
such as polkit,
|
|
[xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland](https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland),
|
|
graphics drivers, fonts, dconf, xwayland, and adding a proper Desktop Entry to
|
|
your Display Manager.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to check out the options of the
|
|
[NixOS module](https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=hyprland).

|
- _**(Required)** NixOS Module_: enables critical components needed to run
|
|
Hyprland properly
|
|
- _Without this, you may have issues with XDG Portals, or missing session
|
|
files in your Display Manager._
|
|
- _(Optional) Home Manager module_: lets you configure Hyprland declaratively
|
|
through Home Manager.
|
|
- _This module configures Hyprland and adds it to your user's `$PATH`, but
|
|
does not make certain system-level changes such as adding a desktop session
|
|
file for your display manager. This is handled by the NixOS module once you
|
|
enable it._

```nix
|

# configuration.nix
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
programs.hyprland.enable = true;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will use the Hyprland version included in the Nixpkgs release you're using.

|
|
Please enable [Cachix](../Cachix) before using the flake package, so you don't
|
|
have to compile Hyprland yourself.

|
|
|
|
In case you want to use the development version of Hyprland, you can add it like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
# flake.nix
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
inputs.hyprland.url = "git+https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland?submodules=1";
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
outputs = {nixpkgs, ...} @ inputs: {
|
|
nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
|
specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; # this is the important part
|
|
modules = [
|
|
./configuration.nix
|
|
];
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# configuration.nix
|
|
|
|
{inputs, pkgs, ...}: {
|
|
programs.hyprland = {
|
|
enable = true;
|
|
package = inputs.hyprland.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.hyprland;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to change the `HOSTNAME` to your actual hostname!
|
|
|
|
If you start experiencing lag and FPS drops in games or programs like Blender on
|
|
**stable** NixOS when using the Hyprland flake, it is most likely a `mesa`
|
|
version mismatch between your system and Hyprland.
|
|
|
|
You can fix this issue by using `mesa` from Hyprland's `nixpkgs` input:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{pkgs, inputs, ...}: let
|
|
pkgs-unstable = inputs.hyprland.inputs.nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system};
|
|
in {
|
|
hardware.opengl = {
|
|
package = pkgs-unstable.mesa.drivers;
|
|
|
|
# if you also want 32-bit support (e.g for Steam)
|
|
driSupport32Bit = true;
|
|
package32 = pkgs-unstable.pkgsi686Linux.mesa.drivers;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Fixing problems with themes
|
|
|
|
If your themes for mouse cursors, icons or windows don't load correctly, see the
|
|
relevant section in [Hyprland on Home Manager](../Hyprland-on-Home-Manager).
