Hyprland 0.53.0 for Fedora

#devops #hyprland #fedora #linux

Hyprland team bumped the version on December 29th. I didn't wait and updated my COPR repo.

After a day of driving, I can confirm: life in 2026 hasn't gotten worse — quite the opposite :)
Happy New Year, by the way! 🎉

The repo has 150 users at the time of posting. If you're among them:

# Upgrade
sudo dnf upgrade hyprland

Considering Hyprland on Fedora?

See my previous post for details.

Note: this COPR intentionally does not include optional Qt-based GUI helpers (welcome screens, crash dialogs, donation prompts).

Hyprland works perfectly without them. This aligns with my packaging approach: no extra functionality by default — anything missing can be added consciously.

What's Included

Package	Description
`hyprland`	Dynamic tiling Wayland compositor (includes `Hyprland`, `hyprctl`, `hyprpm`, `start-hyprland`)
`xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland`	Portal backend for screen sharing, file dialogs - separate spec

Hyprland includes a small set of upstream-vendored libraries (as shown on the image cover),
with proper $ORIGIN-based RUNPATH. No extra bundling beyond upstream defaults.

If it looks good:

# Enable the repo
sudo dnf copr enable ashbuk/Hyprland-Fedora

# Install core compositor
sudo dnf install hyprland

# Screen sharing support (recommended)
sudo dnf install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
