Looking for a good app launcher for Linux. Currently looking for something for Arch and I see there's a lot of options liks rofi and wofi. What are your favourite app launchers and why?

Arch is just a distro. What DE or Window manager are you on, Wayland or still XOrg?

rofi and wofi are a good example how this question makes no sense.

You're right I sbould have included that in the question. I'm on Hyprland with Wayland so there are quite a few choices. I mentioned rofi (rofi-wayland) and wofi because I can see that they are both options here.

Fuzzel works great for me on Hyprland.

I use a Wayland version of rofi when I use hyprland though wofi probably works fine too (which I believe is default as per the config).

True, rofi works on Wayland now

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.
