From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenSuse + Hyprland = ? (lemm.ee)

Hello good nerds,

I'm still in the distrohopping era and have decided to go for Tumbleweed as my second distro after running Garuda as my first distro. I recently came across Hyprland, and it looks rather nice and fluent. Got a few questions:

Does anyone have any prior experience to installing Hyprland on OpenSuse?
Is it better to run KDE for this or GNOME?
Is Hyprland overrated? Are there any other alternatives?

Thanks for any insights!

It seems to be available in Factory nowadays. Add the X11:Wayland repo for faster updates. You probably also want to install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland.

I have my own packages in OBS where I occasionally build the latest git version - initially I've been updating it every few days, nowadays it's mature enough that sometimes I lag behind the released versions.
