SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Configuring the Hyprland Wayland compositor on NixOS requires piecing together scattered, often outdated documentation for GPU driver setup, Wails application compatibility, animated wallpapers, and home-manager integration, leading to hours of debugging blank screens, rendering issues, and broken flake configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-GPU Smart Defaults: Pre-built NixOS modules and environment variable matrices for Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and hybrid PRIME laptops, eliminating manual GPU driver configuration.
  • Wails Desktop Dev Support: Copy-paste fixes for webkit2gtk blank windows, dev shell setup, and build tags to streamline Go desktop application development on Hyprland.
  • Complete Ecosystem Setup: Recommendations for Hyprland companion tools (hyprlock, waybar, mpvpaper), animated wallpaper configuration, and full flake.nix examples for production-ready deployments. Use Case: A developer building Wails apps on a NixOS laptop with hybrid Intel/NVIDIA graphics can use this skill to generate a working flake configuration, apply the required webkit2gtk environment variables, and set up animated video wallpapers without troubleshooting rendering issues.

Quick Start

Use the hyprland skill to generate a complete working NixOS flake configuration for a system running Hyprland with integrated Intel graphics and a Wails development environment.
