Hyprland 0.52.2+ for Fedora — Clean COPR Build

Source: Dev.to

Motivation

The motivation was purely practical. Fedora 43 ships Hyprland 0.45, while upstream is already at 0.52+. I needed a newer compositor with fresh Hyprland features to unblock my own experiments—especially around Wayland and Rust‑based tooling. After solving the problem for myself, I decided to share the result with the community.

If you care about clean builds, reproducibility, and no ABI conflicts, this repository is for you:

• Vendor libraries are isolated and do not shadow system libraries
• No parallel‑install conflicts (dnf repoquery --duplicates is clean)
• Dynamic linking is deterministic and auditable
• Build avoids patchelf (which can corrupt ELF headers)

All of this can be verified directly from the installed package.

Installation

sudo dnf copr enable ashbuk/Hyprland-Fedora
sudo dnf install hyprland

Re‑login and verify:

Hyprland --version
