very smooth, so much cool work going on in this scene

Heads up

there is no real concept or real documentation, atm <<< no offence to anyone !

using it on a freshly installed cachyos system - it runs ok - some lags here and there - it's getting better every day.

don't just jump on it, if you don't know what your doing.

Anyone else getting issues with the install from guru?

ditto

I think rather than regenerating the manifest I will wait til next release.

this has potential - clean - runs very smooth - but, expects uwsm <<< systemd only - he'll switch to quickshell soon.

runs perfect on cachyos <<< because most install scripts are arch based.
---
manually installed QuickShell on Gentoo and tried some quickshell based dotfiles - none worked, because i still use OpenRC.
---

the only dots which works perfect on my OpenRC system is https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE - his scripts are great - it works with or without uwsm.

trying a fork of ax-shell https://github.com/tr1xem/hyprfabricated on my OpenRC Gentoo system, because it's beautiful and very fast without uwsm.

removed all uwsm app entries from source files - tried successfully on cachyos.

created the same user on Gentoo and copied the home/user folder. - all dependencies are installed.

login works fine - keybinds works too, but the shell doesn't start - trying manually from terminal via python ~/.config/hyperfabricated/main.py i get an OS error.

is this a python, pygobject or glibc error?

tried even with dev-python/pygobject-3.52.3 <<< same error >>> also with ax-shell.

[fedeliallalinea]

The command python3 -c "import os; print(os.getlogin())" works?

[CooSee]

thx for reply.

The command python3 -c "import os; print(os.getlogin())" works?

nope.

the weird thing is on Gentoo, while trying the following as user:
python3
Python 3.13.5 (main, Jul 16 2025, 01:17:50) [GCC 14.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
user = os.getlogin()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-6>", line 1, in <module>
user = os.getlogin()
OSError: [Errno -2] Unknown error -2

on cachyos it works

Code: Select all

python3
Python 3.13.5 (main, Jun 21 2025, 15:00:31) [GCC 15.1.1 20250425] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> user = os.getlogin()
>>> print(user)
myuser

EDIT:
os.environ works

Code: Select all

>>> import os
>>> os.environ['USER']
'myuser'

EDIT_1:

tried some settings without luck - tried to start the script with vscodium while logged in with the new user and it showed an error regarding Fabric.

i also assume that some env Variables are wrong or not set.

i give up for now - will try with freshly installed gentoo system at later time - thx again @fedeliallalinea

I think rather than regenerating the manifest I will wait til next release.

0.2.0 builds.

[CooSee]

tried again successfully with updated fabric - used a fork https://github.com/tr1xem/hyprfabricated/tree/main - it showed some errors this time what or which libraries were missing, e.g. libnm, bluetooth etc.

good Error handling is not fully integrated atm, sadly.

used it for couple of days on my OpenRC System - it's very clean - everything works to my liking, but...

... nothing can beat HyDE dotfiles, imho!

Be Aware ! this is still in Alpha stage and more will come

sadly HyDE switched to uwsm, therefore it become unusable for me, but no harm done it's just Software.

i tried many quickshell or fabric based in the last couple of weeks - now i found my favorites https://github.com/AvengeMedia/DankMaterialShell and https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia-shell

very clean and stable.

end-4 dotfiles install script also supports Gentoo https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/ ... /README.md

As the result, now you can use ./install.sh for Gentoo.

EDIT: depends heavily on KDE packages !

different approach.

some of you maybe interested in https://github.com/MannuVilasara/qswitch >>> Easily switch between different QuickShell configurations

switch between End4, Caelestia, Noctalia-Shell, DankMaterialShell. - thanks to MannuVilasara.

no guarantee.
