If there isn't a specific feature you need from Hyprland, I'd recommend trying out something more minimal like River, DWL, and even Qtile seems more minimal in terms of resource usage.

I'd like to add MPV. It's a video player that works from the tty using a framebuffer. So if you run "mpv path/to/video/file" it will play the video! Just learn the keybinds first so you're not stuck with it. In fact, that applies to all of the framebuffer programs.

Unlike some other leaders that have been compared to lettuce.....

Cool, but is it possible to add vim bindings to Helix? I'm too used to them, I even use them in Emacs.

Why Helix over (neo)Vim?

Good luck running a tiling WM like Hyprland with a wonderful Terminal emulator like Foot or Kitty, with a customisable file manager like Thunar or Krusader, with a terminal music player like CMUS.....

I can keep on going. But the TLDR is that it's MY setup not Microsoft's.

Wrong. I and other devs can modify free software to make it work on Linux. You can't do that with Photoshop and Premiere

I can't agree. Wayland should be THE display system we use. Flatpak can't achieve full market dominance because the command line experience (especially for using cli apps) still sucks (and that's where snaps come in to play). Immutable distros target an even smaller subset of users. Not only are they unsuitable for some use cases, but they're also in complete opposition to some people's workflows.

I dropped into GNOME

And I dropped into a Qtile X11 session and used xprop! I'm not sure if river provides a native way to do that.

I see where you're coming from, but in enterprise environments, you have admin accounts and root login is disabled for security purposes.

Why pause? Does it start a slideshow in the current directory?

And a portion of the "Windows" as well. Hiding in plain sight and all.
