So I had some more time this week and gave #hyprland on #cachyos another go.
I'm still adjusting to it and there are *so* many things that still need fiddling with in order to make myself at home, but the important part is that I can actually do normal computing things with minimal fuss now. Sticking around and simply using it will teach me a lot and I'll be able to really see whether I can run this as a daily driver for the long term.
