I’m trying to learn how to rice hyprland, and I have copied someone else’s dotfiles so that I have a good-looking setup for now. I want to have another session that has the settings I make as I learn more and more about hyprland and other ricing. One thing that’s important to me is to be able to switch between them easily, and for that I’m thinking that I want to be able to choose which session to log into at the SDDM screen, but if that’s not possible, I would love to hear any other options that fit.
I think there is simpler solution.
There should be a directory called /usr/share/wayland-sessions.
Normally, there should be desktop entries for Wayland compositors installed on your device.
If you already have two separate Hyprland config files, clone your existing Hyprland entry in /usr/share/wayland-sessions and change the Name= and Exec= parts of the second entry, so that it looks like Exec=Hyprland -c /path/of/your/second/config/file.
Save the file and reboot.
If everything goes fine, you should be able to boot into another session.
