@rozodru E.g. #hyperland does not give me the ability to see which windows are open on which workspace.
You can say that this shouldn't be an issue and I should have window rules that simply sort out this stuff and so on so I don't need to think about it - may I present you stuff like Teams or Zoom and fractured workflows from the depths of public administration which I absolutely cannot avoid and whose GUIs are NOT AT ALL designed with tiling in mind.

Ok… ok, Arch and Hyperland are actually pretty cool after all, NO CAP!
Apparently, you can teach an old dog new tricks… at least with Linux, if not with youth slang!

Hyprland is a toxic community

Good for @frameworkcomputer for supporting FOSS projects. No need to drag personal views of #DHH or anyone else into it, they can support popular and robust software projects that adds value to their hardware. Go #framework! And congrats #hyperland, go build nice things.
It's s been roughly 20 years since I've used #archlinux, and when it came time to finally distro hop away from void in my laptop (not my main machine anymore) I decided to give Arch in 2025 a try. I'll admit, I was influenced heavily by #quickshell #caelestiashell.

Holy shit is arch easy to install these days with the #archinstall script! Installing Caelestia-shell was also just another instill script. I was up and running within about 10-15 minutes.
It's pretty neat. Beautiful even. A small learning curve because I'd never used #hyperland before, but not that difficult. However, the arch philosophy or the "arch way" still remains the same. The system still requires the user to babysit config files and to read every change log etc. The likelihood that my system will break one-day with a `sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)` is looming.
My main system these days is trusty Fedora Workstation on my desktop PC. I actually like gnome. If I'm going to use a fully integrated desktop environment it's going to be gnome. I'm tempted to jump ship now before I get to deep into arch. I don't need bleeding edge stuff anymore. And these days, I actually prefer flatpaks anyway. I must be getting old and boring.
