    It’s crazy someone would write an article about tiling window managers and try to introduce them as the “new hot thing”.

    I think I prefer having to tile my windows with Super+Arrow keys to be honest. I doubt Hyprland will know what I run in the different terminal windows and therefore can’t automagically tile them in the quarters I want them.
    But I haven’t tried it, been too satisfied with KDE Plasma to look further at Wayland desktops.

      It’s only okay.

      It takes a lot of configuration to customize things how you’d want them, the documentation isn’t great and the primary community is tedious to deal with in the alt-right/edglord sense.

      If you wanted to try it I’d recommend using some pre-made configs and customizing from there. Vanilla hyprland just gives you a blank desktop with instructions pointing you to the config file.

      I don’t use it due to the community, but I’ve been impressed by some ricing community setups. If you enjoy UX, it has a lot of flexibility. But for a daily driver it’s a lot of work in ways KDE Plasma just isn’t.
