[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

While the conditions are not quite ideal, guix is almost in a form to
accept Hyprland
the following remains:
mesa-updates commits:
318a1b8596b4862e7449f9e809fc29b203256db6 (gnu: wayland-protocols: Update to
1.37.)
fdc34f63b54de7d356cc5adcbed7a0c7a532c789 (gnu: libinput: Update to 1.26.2.)
in the master guix branch:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/73311 (libliftoff)
others:
pipewire updated (only issue with a single header, not a real blocker but
would be ideal)

Otherwise, see attached with the hypr* desktop and utilities building,
running, and working
on my desktop.

The only caveat existing is that adding the following:
("GBM_BACKENDS_PATH" . ,(file-append mesa "/lib:$GBM_BACKENDS_PATH"))
to a home-environment-variables-service-type in your home configuration is
apparently a
requirement for running or hyprland will complain about egl/gbm.
otherwise I've tested the functionality of the desktop and nothing appears
to be broken.
linked, a screenshot of hyprland running in guix:

attached are the package and service files.
feel free to put this off until later, this is only to show that it can be
done.

Closing, as hyprland was finally added to Guix some weeks ago :)

I'm not sure about your second file (hyprland service) as hyprland can
be used as any other WM/compositor from e.g. GDM login manager. If
something doesn't work correctly currently or something to add, please
do open a new bug/patch. (I do use hyprland on Guix via a login manager
and have had no issues that I know of, but I do treat it more as a bare
WM and set up things as I do for other non-DEs.)

Thanks!
John
