Installing LXQt Hyprland

user@localhost:~> sudo zypper in lxqt-hyprland-session

Go to "Session Settings" in the LXQt Control Center, and select the "Wayland Settings (Experimental)" Icon, and set "Wayland Compositor:" to Hyprland, and "Screenlock command:" to swaylock

Logout of LXQt, and select "LXQt (Wayland)" in sddm and login as normal.

Note: If you skip the step of pre-setting the compositor before logging out, when you attempt to login to the wayland session, you will be presented with the session settings control panel, to set it, and you will automatically be logged out. This is completely normal, just login again when you get back to sddm``

Configuration Files

All configuration files for the compositor are contained in

~/.config/lxqt/wayland

The Primary file to be concerned with is

~/.config/lxqt/wayland/lxqt-hyprland.conf

this is where keybindings, window behaviors, mouse/touchpad settings and other things are set.

There is currently not a Graphical (GUI) way to set these for the hyprland session.
