    Hyprland 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.

    Arch 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.

    Hyprland is hard because it ships with nothing, not because tiling window management is difficult.

    Because 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.

    Setting up Hyprland from scratch costs at least ten hours of installing and configuring.

    This 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!

    Needing 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.

    So 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!
