I changed my main machine over to Linux in the beginning of April, setting it up on its own NVMe so I could keep my other drive with Windows 10 intact and dual boot when needed.

I've been having a blast - ricing hyprland, better workflows, great gaming experiences.

Then yesterday I realized that I hadn't actually bothered to dual boot once since testing out the Windows entry in my systemd-boot menu when I first set it up.

Guess who just gained a 1TB drive to install more games?

I wiped out the Windows drive with no remorse. Damn, that felt good.

Goodbye Windows, you won't be missed.

I was impressed too, must people jump to gnome, KDE or xfce first. But straight to a tiling window manager. Good on you! I would never go back to a floating window manager now, wish I had discovered it straight away

    How do you use it? Do you need to use hot keys constantly?

    Hyprland uses mostly keybinds, though you can bind some actions to your scroll wheel.

    You can definitely use something like waybar to create a custom interface that you can interact with your mouse or even touchscreen.

    The beauty of using something like hyprland, sway, niri, etc. is that it is entirely up to you how your computer works, with every person pretty much getting their own custom desktop environment in the end.

    I already use super+meta+arrows to move/tile windows around in xfce (modified it a bit from how it behaved in win10), but I was wondering if a tiling manager could elevate the experience.
