Perfect for my workflow on a small laptop screen. I get maximum use of my screen, and can stay on my keyboard and use my mouse as little as I like.
I used to use i3 back in the day, and I appreciate that this works well and looks great!

amazing software, i haven't seen anything quite like it. it's great for productivity and multitasking as well as fine-tuning your desktop experience and creating beautiful setups. i don't like the toxic behavior of the developers or general community but the software by itself has nothing to do with that

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)
Perfect for my workflow on a small laptop screen. I get maximum use of my screen, and can stay on my keyboard and use my mouse as little as I like.

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
