Hyprland and NVIDIA

There is no official Hyprland support for Nvidia hardware. However, many people have had success with the instructions on this page.

You can choose between the proprietary Nvidia drivers or the open source Nouveau driver. For the proprietary drivers, there are 3 varieties: the current closed source driver named ’nvidia’ (or ’nvidia-dkms’) which is under active development; the legacy closed source drivers ’nvidia-3xxxx’ for older cards which Nvidia no longer actively supports; and the ’nvidia-open’ driver which is currently an alpha stage attempt to open source a part of their closed source driver for newer cards.

If the proprietary drivers support your graphics card, it’s generally recommended to use them instead, as it has significantly improved performance and power management for newer GPUs.

However, keep in mind that if the proprietary Nvidia drivers do not work properly on your computer, the Nouveau driver might work fine. This will likely be the case for older cards.
