Painless Hyprbian

The ultimate guide to install lastest Hyprland on Debian sid/experimental (since Hyprland package for Debian is super outdated), using relatively dark magic.

NOTE: Won't work on Debian 12 or lower. Will works on Debian 13 using custom/backported packages, but we don't support that.

NOTE 2: If you're using Debian trixie, please consider carefully before following this guide. You're going to make your system a FrankenDebian.

Prerequisites

• A brain to read the official documentations
• Debian sid/experimental, Ubuntu 25.10 and everything based on that
• sway or KDE to install, as well as copy and pasting code

Adding unstable (sid) repo (for trixie users)

Update: We stopped supporting Debian trixie so you will be on your own on this.

Install GCC 15

For Debian trixie

Install packages gcc-15 and g++-15

Change them to default:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-15 150
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-15 150

To change between GCC versions:

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config g++

For Debian sid/experimental

sudo apt full-upgrade

The August 11 package updates added GCC 15 and G++ 15 to sid repo.

Install libstdc++15

Luckily libstdc++15 is automatically upgraded/installed alongside libstdc++14 while installing GCC 15. So, no need to do anything.

Install Hypr* packages
