I told myself I wasn’t gonna do it anytime soon but I distro hopped from Endeavour OS to Arch with Hyprland in the span of 3 days. Nothing against endeavour. I just tried to customize, broke some stuff and decided to try Hyprland again. I’m quite liking it. It takes awhile to get used to it but it’s fun. I cloned a repo for a customized version of it. I don’t know how long I’ll stick with it but wish me luck!
Good luck then. I spent happy years on Arch but recently hopped to Void because lately Arch packages broke to much (mainly because of my choices to be honest) and I wanted something different (not specifically no systemd)
Yeah Void is fantastic. I just switched back and I doubt I’ll be moving to anything else.
I only switched away in the first place because I had gotten so comfortable I wanted to try something new (Guix, also amazing!).
But there’s something so comfy about Void once you grok it, just lots of little good decisions which add up to a great experience.
@mrh @Qpernicus it also has a very cool name i switched to it because of that, also do the android dream of ele
But I was told by the fanboys that Arch never breaks. Could they have lied to me?
No. And arch never broke on me. But some packages did and lately they were just more of those. Admittedly a few were the -git version. And I just wanted something else
But some packages did
So Arch broke for you.
What WM did you use on EOS, and what is the improvement in Hyprland?
i3 for while but I mainly used xfce. Hyprland overall feels “new”, unlike X11, Wayland just “flows” better in a way. i3 felt more clunky but overall more stable, if that ever makes sense.
I was using I3 and now sway. But I never felt any real difference in performance. Other than better 4K and multimonitor support, why i switched. I was wondering if Hyprland is just for looks or it brings something important
