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.

So you're using Hyprland WM.... I'm assuming to have a minimalistic Window Manager..... But you want an app launcher.
No offense, but FFS just use a DE at that point. You're just creating a DE with extra steps. KDE is nice and fairly lightweight.
makes no sense, app launcher+ window manager is still wayy more minimalistic than de
no, the point of Window managers is not to be minimalistic
Plasma has such a good tiling window manager now as well, with one of the most low resource draw frameworks powering it. But it isn't cool and hip I guess!
how did you get tiling working in plasma? bismuth broke after plasma 6 the other ones are also really bad
Tiling is built into plasma after late versions of 5. You can hit super+T to change default layout, shift+drag window to snap to layout, and set custom keybinds for keybord navigation. There might be default settings but I set mine to mimic i3 of the bat so I couldnt tell you what they are…
that's not even close to being as good as auto tiling in wm's
its really bad compared to real tiling
Plasma ships with a tiling wm? I thought it was done using extensions like bismuth.
no, it doesn't
They added native tiling a while back! I am running debian 12 with plasma 5.27 and it is super comfortable.
