$ sudo pacman -S kitty
Launching Hyprland
Systemd users can also start Hyprland, using uwsm
. This is the recommended method of launching Hyprland on systemd-based distros.
Install uwsm:
$ sudo pacman -S uwsm
Using a display manager
Login managers are not officially supported, but here’s a short compatibility list:
SDDM
→ Works flawlessly. Install sddm ⩾ 0.20.0 or the latest git version (or sddm-git from AUR) to prevent SDDM bug 1476 (90s shutdowns).
If you use a display manager, choose hyprland (uwsm-managed) entry in a display manager selection menu.
