This is my absolute minimum to get Hyprland usable. Instalation is based on Arch Linux.

What is Hyprland?

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

It supports multiple layouts, fancy effects, has a very flexible IPC model allowing for a lot of customization, a powerful plugin system and more. More information you can find here:

```
 sudo pacman -S read-edid
 cat /sys/class/drm/card<NUMBER>-<interface>/edid | parse-edid
```
Change display settings in:
~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
for example from:
monitor=,preferred,auto,auto
to:
```
 # monitor = name, resolution position, scale
 monitor = DP-2,     2560x1440@144, 0x0,    1
 monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@144, 2560x0, 1
 # workspace = name, number
 workspace = DP-2,     1
 workspace = HDMI-A-1, 2
```

- Check sound card visibility:
  pacmd list-cards
  If not visible install additional drivers:
