I’m interested in TWMs for some while now.
Currently, I’m running Gnome with the Forge extension, which gives me a quite nice tiling with the full fledged DE experience I need.
Especially Hyprland is the project I have an eye on the most. The ultra-smooth animations are just out of this world! (I’m not only locked on Hyprland tho.)
My current setup feels a bit clunky, and I want something proper, without losing the comfort of a fully functioning DE.
My end goal maybe would be making my own uBlue-image with a setup that works sane out of the box.
Are there any setups and recommendations of needed packages?
How do Sway, Hyprland and other TWMs differ from each other?
Which one would you recommend for starters, and which one is “the best”?
What do I need to know before getting started? Should I just dive into it head first?
If I have to ask all these questions, would you just say I should ditch the idea for now, with my current level of knowledge and time?
What has your experience been? Any problems I may encounter?
Thank you for your answers?
Hyprland provided you’re not on Nvidia
I use it on Nvidia on both of my machines and it’s not exactly what I’d call stable, recently updated my system and both of my machines broke in some way
Laptop can’t launch VScode now, desktop gets jitters when running certain games
That said the latter was an Nvidia driver regression that I believe has a fix in the works now
It’s crazy how far this extends. I have fewer problems on my 5k atom series laptop GPU/CPU after fooling with a few of the settings than with an nvidia 2k card.
No issues with either full Intel or amd stacks a decade old.
