Were they all working on the same floor?

I have used it before and yeah, it does work well as long as you use their OVPN/Wireguard configuration instead of theit client. They’re also very cheap during the sale.

Unfortunately, you will have to do a lot of tweaking a lot to get it to usable level. You won’t have any start menus, taskbars, GUI-based settings, or any clickable buttons outside of the program you are running right off the bat. These are intended to be filled in with programs of your own choice, but it won’t be shipped with Hyprland.

Or do I have to install extra extensions or have to muck around in the config to have a proper desktop?

Yes, that is the case. It’s what makes it attractive for those who want maximum customisability, even if it takes a long time to get there.

New would genereally mean less popular, yeah, but Hyprland is past that level of new. Frankly, I haven’t compared Hyprland to light DEs like LXQt. I don’t really see LXQt working as a replacement for Hyprland. With LXQt, when you boot up your computer, you get things like

• Taskbar
• Start menu
• Background with icons you can double click

With Hyprland alone, you get none of above. You need to install each component by yourself. Additionally, you get a very minimal configuration that is stored in a single file, and you are expected to make it however you want it to behave.

The keyboard aspect isn’t necessary, but you need to install start menus, taskbars, etc yourself, or use someone else’s config. Hyprland allows you to set keybinds for a lot of actions including running programs and commands, which is why your workflow ends up being more keyboard oriented.

Feel free to ask more. I don’t have much to do today.

It’s a tiling window manager that has been popular in ricing community. Window manager is a subcomponent of a desktop environment (eg. KDE has KWin), so I suppose you can say it is lighter, but it’s different from desktop environments, which has window manager alongside many other components.

As the name suggests, all it does is manage windows. You can move them around, resize them, make one take up the whole screen, move them into different workspace, etc. What makes tiling window manager popular is that it’s minimal, making it easier to build your own desktop environment, and a perfect fit for keyboard-oriented workflow. I use Hyprland myself, and I can definitely work just fine without using a mouse.

As for why Hyprland is popular as opposed to other window managers, I think it’s because

1. It’s relatively new
2. It got cool animations
3. Bunch of well known people use it

I suppose it does say a thing or two about the person

Including their timezone and ISP

One major difference is that it is so much easier to lock yourself out of the desktop TPM chip compared to mobile device security chips because they’re not tightly coupled.

One little bonus for using Vaultwarden is that you get access to premium features for free. But still, I put availability much higher when it comes to password management, so I would go with paid Bitwarden. That is what I did before moving to Keepass.
