Optimizing

Plugins

• Only enable the plugins you are using in the plugins array (in [pyprland] section).
• Leaving the configuration for plugins which are not enabled will have no impact.
• Using multiple configuration files only have a small impact on the startup time.

Pypr

You can run pypr using pypy (version 3) for a more snappy experience. One way is to use a pypy3 virtual environment:

pypy3 -m venv pypr-venv
source ./pypr-venv/bin/activate
cd <pypr source folder>
pip install -e .

Pypr command

In case you want to save some time when interacting with the daemon, the simplest is to use one of the pypr-client implementations as mentioned in the getting started page. If for some reason pypr-client isn't made available by the package of your OS and can not compile code, you can use socat instead (needs to be installed).

Example of a pypr-cli command (should be reachable from your environment's PATH):

#!/bin/sh
socat - "UNIX-CONNECT:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/hypr/${HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE}/.pyprland.sock" <<< $@

On slow systems this may make a difference. Note that the "help" command will require usage of the standard pypr command.
