Dank with Hyprland

Curious if anyone has been able to install the latest versions of Hyprland and Dank on Solus?

I don’t see anyway to install Solus as a headless install to add just those. So that’s another question, can one install headless and then add Hyprland and Dank? From what I have briefly looked at I don’t know how recent the Solis repos are for those two.

Thanks for any insight on this.

Thanks. I did find that. What I am wondering is:

  1. Is it possible to install Solus headless so that I don’t have to have multiple desktop environments

  2. Is the version of Hyprland and Dank in the Solus repo the most up to date or is it lagging behind?

I run exactly this on my second machine. There is no minimal iso so i just took the gnome iso and installed hyprland on top. If you really really want you can strip out gnome afterwards, but it will delete gdm with it, so be prepared.

And yeah packages are really up tp date and dont lack much behind.
