Great, simple, tiling window manager like i3 and Sway, but out of the box has a level of polish that rivals GNOME. Plus, their documentation and website are clean and easy to follow. Migrating to Hyprland from i3/Sway should be relatively painless.
"out of the box has a level of polish that rivals GNOME", you sure? forget comparing to gnome, is it even easy out of the box? i agree its documentations are decent, but it just doesnt work well for everyday use (even if you use pre-configured setups)
arch + hypr = life
its cool and i love it. highly customizable and aesthetic. but i suggest using a different desktop environment for daily use. its a hassle that you need to install or modify literally almost everything. it doesnt work out of the box which maybe extremely hard for many. preconfigured setups of hyprland does not work as same as desktop environments like gnome or plasma
