I'm currently using kde and am loving it but online i keep on seeing people say, just get "hyprland or sway". I want to know why they are so praised compared to a normal DE and why people praise the productivity of them.

Yeah they do look clean and minimal. They do level up a system in how you can change the looks and it organizes the system by itself rather than having floating windows, but why are they "essential for every linux user?"

Hey, if KDE does it for you, just use it. I switch between xfce4 and i3 depending on what i'm doing. When coding or managing network devices, I3 it my way to go. Browsing, email, documenting : xfce4.

It's exactly like food...some like a burger, some love pizza, another eat caviar to be snobby.

    Some people eat caviar because they like caviar.
