OpenSuse + Hyprland = ?

Fjor@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 17 points –

Hello good nerds,

I'm still in the distrohopping era and have decided to go for Tumbleweed as my second distro after running Garuda as my first distro. I recently came across Hyprland, and it looks rather nice and fluent. Got a few questions:

  • Does anyone have any prior experience to installing Hyprland on OpenSuse?
  • Is it better to run KDE for this or GNOME?
  • Is Hyprland overrated? Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks for any insights!

Hyprland is decent, it's one of the better Wayland window managers, that being said it's still in beta and not complete. Also be aware, it's a window manager, not a desktop environment. It won't do much besides well managing windows, taskbar, start menu, notification demon,... have to all be installed and setup by you and the config is done in text files, not some gui.

Also the community is rather toxic, I've made similar experiences to this in the past when trying it out.

Everything in the post you linked has been addressed BTW

Yeah I read something about that, I tend to stay clear of most things and mind my own little business hehe, but thanks for the heads up
