Hello good nerds,

I’m still in the distrohopping era and have decided to go for Tumbleweed as my second distro after running Garuda as my first distro. I recently came across Hyprland, and it looks rather nice and fluent. Got a few questions:

  • Does anyone have any prior experience to installing Hyprland on OpenSuse?
  • Is it better to run KDE for this or GNOME?
  • Is Hyprland overrated? Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks for any insights!

    It seems to be available in Factory nowadays. Add the X11:Wayland repo for faster updates. You probably also want to install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.

    I have my own packages in OBS where I occasionally build the latest git version - initially I’ve been updating it every few days, nowadays it’s mature enough that sometimes I lag behind the released versions.
