Can I install ML4W Dotfiles Setup (Hyperland) along side KDE on my endeavourOS?

Hi there just like the title says can I do it? Will my files be usable on both sides? I know that I need to choose between either one at the login screen but will these two work without conflicts? Will they both boot up and work? I never tried window tiling before including Hyperland but I really love to try it.

The setup I am going for is using ML4W Dotfiles Setup

Thanks. :purple_heart::rocketa_purple:

[EDIT]
I also have many KDE customizations like Themes, Application Style, Icons, Window Decorations, Cursors, Kvantum, etc. Will they also be usable on Hyperland?

I am sorry if my questions are dumb but I don’t know much about Hyperland.

Most of it would be fine but I would be worried about theming conflicts if you intend use both.

Many of those are specific to KDE so they won’t carry over. They would likely also conflict.

The way I would recommend handling this situation is to create two users on your system. One for hyprland and one for KDE. Then login to the user account you want to use for that session.

some apps under hypr will require you to pass --password-store=kwallet6 on the comannd-line like chrome, signal, discord, etc

I personally prefer Jakoolit’s hyprland install vs ML4W. Enjoy!

how’d this work out for you?

considering alongside of wayland budgie eos

hey man sorry for the late reply been distro hopping for a while, well it went bad and awful because KDE Plasma’s configs and other settings had conflict with Hyperland and the dot files it created a mess no matter what i did i could not fix even uninstalling and reinstalling KDE Plasma itself idk why so I had to reset everything and reinstall the DM (Desktop Manager) and create another username to avoid conflict
my advise for you if you want to try other OS use it and install it under another username not the one another DM already using.

I found out for open box custom configs. hyperland, labwc etc I tried…

they all borked settings in their sister DEs…

I was looking at custom configs because I am a lazy bastard and just want to boot into the WM and go…

LESSON–Separate DEs stupid–no more ‘alongside of’

shrink budgie ext 4 partition by 20GB, do a headless arch onlline install and install i3 or hyprland withSomeone’s Spiffy Dotfile

thanks for reliving your disaster, they go with the linux territory sometimes

It can be done, but not every combination works and there are often a few little tradeoffs with customization.
So yeah, for best experience and less ‘strange’ things, keep it pure.

I, for one, have really enjoyed Someone’s Spiffy Dotfiles. I appreciated that the lineup consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.

It should be fine to have hyprland and plasma installed in the system together. I can’t see what ML4W setup does (link gives 404 error). I would suggest that you install hyprland and use the default config as the starting point and add other pieces gradually.

I did this a week or two ago and (as their website mentions) reverting the changes were quite hard. I had to do a clean reinstall of EOS at last.
