Weird glitches when booting into Hyprland?

Hi everyone, I recently installed NixOS with the intention of running Hyprland, and initially, everything seemed to be set up fine. However, after booting into the system and starting to use it, things started to go haywire. I’ve searched online, but I haven’t been able to find any solutions that match my issue. Most similar problems seem to be related to Nvidia graphics, but I don’t have an Nvidia GPU.

I uploaded an example for reference: https://youtu.be/V5JdWmvteys

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello
Could you please provide your config and what it says in in the top of hyprland.
Also could you post the journalctl and demsg log here and share the link:

Hi, did you find a fix? please lmk
Having the same problem

Maybe you can provide more infos:

Especially important is what your specs are (Hardware) and wich Versions you are running (graphics driver, hyprland, kernel, …)

I did end up being able to fix it myself!

I added boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest; to my config file to update to the latest Linux kernel, and also added all the relevant firmware for my computer parts. Both the NixOS and Arch wiki has pretty good documentation on how to do that and what to include.

for me it was simply updating the driver from stable to latest:

hardware.nvidia.package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.latest;
