Notes

  • The COPR repository has 150 users at the time of posting.
  • This COPR intentionally does not include optional Qt‑based GUI helpers (welcome screens, crash dialogs, donation prompts). Hyprland works perfectly without them.
  • 0.53.0 introduces breaking changes; you’ll need to update your config syntax. See the Hyprland 0.53.0 Release Notes.
  • This is currently the only actively maintained, clean RPM‑based option for running Hyprland 0.53 on Fedora without building from source.
  • Feedback or issues are welcome on the GitHub repo.
