Hyprland on Ubuntu 24.04

Hyprland is not available by default on Ubuntu 24.04 so instead we can utilize the Nix package manager and Home Manager.

Nix

The benefit of the Nix package manager compared to others in this case is that the package and dependencies of Nix packages is immutable and self contained. This means that the entire setup is contained to a separate /nix path. Changes to Nix packages does not break Ubuntu and changes to Ubuntu does not break Nix packages.

Multiple Python Installations on Linux Using Mise

Note: Mise was previously called RTX

I have tried a lot different ways of managing multiple Python versions on different Linux systems.

• pyenv
  • Uses shims which is confusing, especially for new users
• Compiling from source

Background
