I daily drive Window managers but occasionally I also check out Desktop environments. Here is my personal preference -
DE
WM
I have never known what the difference between DE and WM, well, I still donβt know reallyβ¦
A DE tries to be a full operating environment, it has panels and configuration tools and (...) all as part of the package
A WM only does window management, and other things need to be added separately. The line blurs a bit since most people who use WMs end up adding a lot of other stuff to them to the point it might as well be a DE, only it was built piecemeal.
So there is no DE with hyperland as WM? I want something like gnome with the forge extension but not es buggy π
None that I know of. Though you can build your own operating environment centered around Hyprland. Their wiki is pretty good and their config files are nice and simple to understand. I did that for a lark a few months back.
.... The catch is that, y'know, it's a whole afternoon spent tinkering to get it right.
Well that seems promising π only one day seems doable π€π»π€£ Iβll try to add it to my gnome arch as second option
YMMV of course. It took me an afternoon to get it to a point where it had the stuff I needed and was enjoyable to use.
... f'course I didn't stick with it, as I said in my toplevel post, turns out tiling WMs aren't for me.
