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?"

I like the idea of tiling, but it doesn't work well with my monitor's size & shape. Also, I really like minimizing windows I'm not using. Weirdly, there aren't many non-tiling compositors available on my distro.
