SSS is a Lisp machine adventure, where the hacking culture is celebrated. Let me help you achieve GNUrvana.

Just released v2.1.29, my Emacs config is now fully modular, and I control Spotify from inside it too with smudge - waybar, rofi, mako improvements - more everforest and light themes love - org mode with proportional fonts now - SSS-atisfying

This custom GNU + Linux setup enhances customization to infinity, encourages the hacking spirit, and offers a superior user experience thanks in part too to REPL (Read Eval Print Loop) and Lisps.

SSS strives to have all things configured via Lisp dialects when possible and convenient, staying accessible to all kinds of users, and allowing for magical things to happen 🪄.

I have an 180Hz monitor, and in my Hyprland config file, I have the monitor set to "auto," which works as expected. The problem is that "auto" mode doesn't seem to be as automatic as I hoped. What I want is for my monitor to run at 60Hz while I'm on the desktop, but for it to automatically switch to a higher refresh rate when playing games at more than 60FPS.

However, this doesn’t seem to happen. If my monitor is set to "auto" and a game runs at more than 60FPS, the monitor stays at 60Hz. For example, if the game is running at 180FPS, I want the monitor to match that refresh rate. The only solution I’ve found so far is to manually change my Hyprland configuration files to set my monitor to 180Hz. However, I don’t want to have to make these manual changes every time I want to play a game. Is there a way to make this process automatic? And yes, I can set my monitor to run globally at 180Hz in my Hyprland config files, but that feels a bit unnecessary.

I'm trying to use PrtSc button to take screenshots, in hyprland on nixos. I used grim and slurp to take screenshot using script to save the image and copy to the clipboard. This script does not run when PrtSc is pressed, it works in terminal. I think its hyprland problem.

Since a week or two back, my cursor theme for QT apps stopped working. In Hyprland and some apps (like Kitty) the cursor is the hyprland logo. GTK apps work fine as I set them with NWG-look. I have set the QT theme to Breeze with qt5ct and qt6ct.

I followed the wiki and according to the FAQ the cursor being a hyprland logo is because no cursor theme is installed. But like, no? Breeze is installed, which is the theme I want. I also installed other hyprcursor themes to test them but that didn't work either. What is going on?

Here is the relevant part of my config. Did I miss anything?

    env=HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Breeze
    env=HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24
    
    env=XCURSOR_SIZE,24
    env=XCURSOR_THEME,Breeze
    
    env=QT_QPA_PLATFORM,wayland
    env=QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt5ct

Edit: forgot this which is also in the config

exec-once = hyprctl setcursor Breeze 24

[SOLVED] can't set up the Hyprshot dir

I'm trying to set the Hyprshot dir to /home/wonderfox/Screenshots so it won't clog up my Pictures folder with screenshots but for some reason it won't work, it keeps saving screenshots to my Pictures dir

I have added export HYPRSHOT_DIR=/home/wonderfox/Screenshots to my .bashrc and env = HYPRSHOT_DIR,/home/wonderfox/Screenshots to my hyprland.conf

what am I doing wrong?

@hyprland@lemmy.world

#Hyprland #Hyprshot

general {
  after_sleep_cmd=hyprctl dispatch dpms on
  before_sleep_cmd=loginctl lock-session
  lock_cmd=hyprlock
}

listener {
  on-timeout=loginctl lock-session
  timeout=300
}

listener {
  on-resume=hyprctl dispatch dpms on
  on-timeout=hyprctl dispatch dpms off
  timeout=330
}

listener {
  on-timeout=systemctl suspend
  timeout=600
}

Guys I feel like there's something wrong or odd in this config, cuz, I don't know whats responsible for this but, it looks like things aren't working well together, I said it looks like cuz I never caugth an actual error. So what happens is that after I leave my laptop idle, the hypridle starts doing its thing and most of the times it works, my laptop is suspended, hyprlock works etc, but sometimes, after I press any button on my keyboard to wake my laptop, I can see that my laptop is up, but all I can see is black screen, and then I have to hard shutdown the laptop, so somethings is not adding up here.

Basically what title says, I have a 7800XT and an 7950X3D and in games like Borderlands 2 can I barely overcome the 60FPS (with max settings and 1440p), I have tried gamescope and gamemode but to be honest something doesn't feels right, I have the feeling that Hyprland (Or the OS) is not taking full adventage of my GPU and CPU, since I been watching gameplays of the games I play using my same setup and they have better framerates than me. And something interesting is that even if my FPS are locked to 30, I have constant stutters and my GPU is between 80% and 100% even in the lobby, and this happen specifically in Hyprland, and another interesting thing is that my CPU is always between 85 C and 90 C, when its at just 40% of usage, and this again is specific of Hyprland.

Any idea? I have already experienced something like this when I used Nvidia + Wayland in the past, but I'm now in AMD + Wayland.

I am currently on ArcoLinux with the latest zen kernel, but I have used the same setup on distros like Garuda with i3 and indeed I have better performance, but I know is not that simple.

new version of your favorite window manager

I have two monitors with different resolutions and aspect ratios, my main monitor is on the left and it's a 2560x1440 (27") monitor and the other one is on the right and it's a 1920x1080 (24") monitor.

The problem I'm facing is that when I move my cursor between the displays it makes a kind of 'jump' between them, for example if I move my cursor between my left monitor to my right monitor, once it enters the second monitor its position is not the same as the position from my main monitor, and I understand that this is something that makes sense since they have different aspect ratios and resolutions, but I don't want this behavior.

I have already played with my hyprland.conf but still don't understand how this works, at the moment of writing this I have just commented everything monitor related so hyprland just does it by itself but is not the best.

I recently migrated from Sway to Hyprland, and I can simply say that Hyprland is a marvel and is incredibly faster than Sway in my opinion.

The only problem I'm having right now is that in Borderlands 2 (Proton) when I put the mouse over any option in the game, it takes about 2 seconds to react in the game, for example, if I put the mouse over the “Settings” option the reaction of the game is not immediate, but it takes a moment, and the funny thing is that in the game as such I do not have that problem, only in the inventories and menus, I can play? Yes, but it is uncomfortable

I already tried changing the version of Proton, forcing the game to run through x11 using SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%, putting the game in full screen mode or minimized, in no case fixes the problem, and is specific to Borderlands 2, I've played different games and this has not happened to me and did not happen inside Sway.

Another curious thing to mention is that Borderlands 2 as such does not recognize the resolution of my monitor, but only appears “unidentified” among the Borderlands options, although it is in 1080p.

Thank for any help in advance.
