Best App Launcher on Linux
Looking for a good app launcher for Linux. Currently looking for something for Arch and I see there's a lot of options liks rofi and wofi. What are your favourite app launchers and why?

So you're using Hyprland WM.... I'm assuming to have a minimalistic Window Manager..... But you want an app launcher.
No offense, but FFS just use a DE at that point. You're just creating a DE with extra steps. KDE is nice and fairly lightweight.
makes no sense, app launcher+ window manager is still wayy more minimalistic than de
no, the point of Window managers is not to be minimalistic
Plasma has such a good tiling window manager now as well, with one of the most low resource draw frameworks powering it. But it isn't cool and hip I guess!
how did you get tiling working in plasma? bismuth broke after plasma 6 the other ones are also really bad
Tiling is built into plasma after late versions of 5. You can hit super+T to change default layout, shift+drag window to snap to layout, and set custom keybinds for keybord navigation. There might be default settings but I set mine to mimic i3 of the bat so I couldnt tell you what they are…
that's not even close to being as good as auto tiling in wm's
its really bad compared to real tiling
Plasma ships with a tiling wm? I thought it was done using extensions like bismuth.
no, it doesn't
They added native tiling a while back! I am running debian 12 with plasma 5.27 and it is super comfortable.
