So I’ve recently made the move and switched from DEs like GNOME or KDE to hyprland. It seems to work great, but every time I initially launch it, I see the error / warning: you have one or more incomparable xdg-desktop-portal-impls installed please remove incomparable ones to avoid issues. I’ve looked online a bunch, but I’ve only found posts offering solutions specifically for arch linux, and I am on Fedora. I understand that I have some duplicate implementations of portals (?), but I don’t feel comfortable to just yoink random packages. Obviously, I would be happy if I get the solution for fedora, but optimally I would like a solution, that would let me figure out the redundant / incompatible package myself next time, not matter the distribution.

I hope it’s okay to ask questions like this here :)

Here is the output of sudo dnf list | grep portal if that helps:

    Your problem is the coexistence of these three portals:

    xdg-desktop-portal-{wlr,gnome,gtk}

    You can remove the unused one to get rid of the warning (e.g. keep wlr and potenially also gtk for hyprland). Their main functionality is opening file and screensharing dialogues. Could be that you have to install the gnome one again if you switch to that DE. Read more here:

    Hope it helps!

      Thanks! So I have to uninstall the portals of all the other DEs I have installed? Because currently, I have a handy dandy DE selector on my login screen. I mean, I didn’t really intend to set it up like this, but it’s nice to have :)
