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 readingHyprland is hard because it ships with nothing, not because tiling window management is difficult.
Their wordsBecause I do think that Hyprland deserves its reputation of being difficult! Not because the core tiling window manager is hard, but because it comes incredibly bare-boned in the box.

Our readingSetting up Hyprland from scratch costs at least ten hours of installing and configuring.
Their wordsThis means that if you're interested in running Hyprland, and you intend to set it all up from scratch, you're probably signing up for at least a good 10+ hours — just to install and configure everything!

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!
