Finally swapped my desktop over to Linux! Found out Hyprland dev is shit, so trying to figure out if I want Sway, Niri, or just Plasma. CachyOS is cool but I also feel the pull of Arch… Decisions decisions decisions.
Mainly a gaming PC but I also want to use it for basic productivity, libreoffice and the like + relearning to program, primarily interested in Rust and Clojure based on the buzz I see around them. Not serious dev work, just messing around on the side.
Great, i personally run Sway because it’s really easy to configure and superbly stable. Other than the flashy animations Hyprland is not that good, i tried it for a while and went back to Sway even before all the light came out of the developer.
Gotcha, will keep that in mind! I like Niri so far, it seems very usable, but if I want to change to tiling I’ll put Sway on top.
Let me know if you need help with Sway, i am by no means a power user but i do have a somwhat developed config file.
Will do, I’ll keep you in mind! Thanks!
If you want gaming, Bazzite (or smth) is pretty much the best one you got, following I think by CachyOS and then technically SteamOS but I'm not sure it's possible to install on your own PC, I haven't really checked into it. And for your UI, choose whatever makes you happy and doesn't stress you. Remember that Linux is for basically only nice if tinkering with your PC is a hobby
