Hey hey people, vax here.

I've seen the post about Hyprland Premium go a bit viral and people don't seem to understand fully what we're doing.

There is a reason no pages link to the account. subdomain, because it's a work in progress, after all. That's why wording is a bit lacking, that's why registrations are closed.

Anyways, here are some key takeaways:

Yes, it's real

It's the official website. I did not get hacked.

Hyprland is not going closed source

It says that in the first sentence on the page. No paid features, beta branches, etc. We continue development as always.

Why money

I need something to eat too. Once I end university, if I can't make this my full-time job, I will have to severely decrease my contributions in favor of a real job. If this gets us somewhere, it will be only with benefits to you, the users. If I get enough money to hire another guy to help me work on Hyprland full time, I will.

Forums:

Already on forum.hypr.land. To log in, you need a Hyprland Account, that's why we haven't "fully" launched them yet.

"Premium" Forums:

Additional categories on the same forum for premium subscribers - these include premium support (where you get answers from me instead of the community at large), Q&A with me, and some banter chats.

Desktop Experience:

Free desktop experience: Dotfiles provided by us, with one-click installs and updates.

Premium desktop experience: Same as above, but with more customization options. (dotfile customizations, e.g. "bar on what side", "what button where", etc, not Hyprland features)

"Further premium services":

A general catch-all clause if any premium services come out in the future, they will most likely just be a part of the premium subscription. This might be dotfile sync, or other ideas. We don't know yet, that's why we didn't say.

Cheers, happy Hyprlanding.

Solution: I found this this bugzilla comment which links to this page for time formatting. I changed intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short to h:mm a so it shows 4:26PM. There's an open bugzilla report for my issue: Date not formatted according to user's locale (LC_TIME).

For instance, 4:26PM instead of 16:26, I'm on linux (NixOS) if that helps.

I think the least that distros can do, is allow listing all packages and system settings in config files like .toml rather than having to type in every single package to install, or click through system setting GUIs to setup. Would that require using a whole programming language or system like NIx?

While NixOS works much differently from most distros, that's the only reason I use it: package and system settings in text files. If I fix something, it's fixed permanently, I don't need to hunt down files in random directories if I want to change a setting. If I ever need to reinstall the OS I don't have to write dnf install every single damn package and manually setup all that up all over again. Having daily-drove Windows macOS & Fedora as throughout the years, my setups have felt hacky as well as houses of cards as I've wanted or had to set them up again (I don't mean Fedora specifically, but distros in general).

Basically it feels insane that it's the way most linux users and servers in the world operate. If I, a humble computer hobbyist can figure out Nix, why don't more users do so, and why is Nix so niche?
