So I’ve been using Linux for about a year and a half, have been using Window managers since a few wweks in, have been using Wayland for the last 3 months or so, and have been using Hyprland for about a month. I love it and I want to stick with it in the long term, but I need a distro that supports it.

My essential needs are:

Hyprland NWG-Look (for gtk themes) CMUS Thunar Ristretto bemenu j4-dmenu-desktop (can build from source) Vivaldi (can use deb/rpm/extra repo)

My main issue stems from the fact that:

I want Stability. As such, Arch (and derivatives) are out of the question.

I don’t like immutability. As such, NixOS is out of the question.

I’m concerned about the future of Fedora. It’s where I’m at right now, yet the telemetry proposal, if accepted, would mean I need to switch.

If you have any other distros that fit my criteria, please leave them below. I know void can take care of all of these, except Hyprland itself and while River is available (and River is amazing) I would prefer to run Hyprland instead.

    i know what you are talking about. that’s dynamic vs static tiling for you. dwm does it in a similar way

      Yeah, but there’s different types of dynamic tiling. Personally, I want it to be like DWM’s attachbottom patch, where a new window appears at the bottom of the stack, jnstead lf the default in DWM and AwesomeWM, where a new window becomes a master window.
