    Our readingHyprland put a twenty-year-old distribution in front of people who never believed open source could deliver a desktop worth leaving Windows or macOS for.

    Their wordsArch has been around for twenty years, but with Hyprland on top, it's been catapulted in front of an entirely new audience. Folks who'd never thought that open source could be able to deliver a desktop experience worth giving up Windows or macOS for.

    Our readingArch's community package repository removes the manual scripting that a developer's setup still needs on Ubuntu.

    Their wordsA quarter of Omakub is trying to work around the fact that helpful tools like Alacritty or LazyGit or whatever rarely have official packages for Ubuntu, so you're left doing a lot of manual scripting to get everything a developer would want from a modern Linux setup. Not so with the AUR!

    Our readingNeeding a choice and a config file for every last detail is both the cost of Arch with Hyprland and the reason it can be made entirely your own.

    Their wordsSo while the downside of Arch + Hyprland is that literally every last detail requires you to make a choice and a config file to move on, it's also its upside: you can change EVERYTHING!
