Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....
As a hyprland user, gnome is great and I would recommend it to pretty much anyone
Hyprland is great if you consider your machine a toy as well as a tool and enjoy spending hours customising and theming
I would choose my hyprland setup over gnome 9 times out of 10, but I’d choose gnome over someone else’s setup every time because they actually know what they’re doing and make a great one size fits all DE (my hyprland config takes very heavy inspiration from GNOME with a few changes to suit my personal preference)
Excuse me, sir (lemmy.world)
Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is
