soooo i'm new to nix and nixos and i want to switch from gnome to hyprland. however there is a reallly steep learning curve for both and in the meantime i am looking for a working out of the box flake or configuration repo that i can just add to my configs as a starter to get hyprland up and running. is that a thing? thanks!

edit: thanks everyone for enlightening me about hyprland's bad origins, let's reframe it to - any hyprland alternative that aren't Nazi adjacent?

I’m using Niri+Noctalia to my satisfacion, but I’m coming from Sway so the system feels familiar. I am not aware of any scandals, but I haven’t gone and checked, so…

    Just switched to Niri from Sway. It’s the best WM I’ve used so far, and coming from Gnome it’s probably more familiar since it’s got dynamic workspaces.

    I should switch from Hyprland to Niri, methinks. Does Niri break with literally every update? Because I'm soooo sick of fixing Hyprland every damned time.
