Performance
This page documents known tricks and fixes to boost performance if by any chance you stumble upon problems or you do not care that much about animations.
Wayland fractional scaling is a lot better than before, but it is not perfect. Some applications do not support it yet or the support is experimental at best. If you have problems with your graphics card having high usage and hyprland feeling laggy then try setting the scaling to integer numbers such as 1
or 2
like in this example monitor=,preferred,auto,2
.
The TLP defaults are rather aggressive, setting INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_AC
and/or INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_BAT
in /etc/tlp.conf
to something slightly higher (e.g. to 500 from 300) will reduce stutter significantly or, in the best case, remove it completely.
Useful Optimizations:
decoration:blur = false
anddecoration:drop_shadow = false
to disable fancy but battery hungry effects.misc:vfr = true
, since it’ll lower the amount of sent frames when nothing is happening on-screen.
Use gamescope
