  • Hyprland is decent, it’s one of the better Wayland window managers, that being said it’s still in beta and not complete. Also be aware, it’s a window manager, not a desktop environment. It won’t do much besides well managing windows, taskbar, start menu, notification demon,… have to all be installed and setup by you and the config is done in text files, not some gui.

    Also the community is rather toxic, I’ve made similar experiences to this in the past when trying it out.










  • Sounds pretty cool, though as others have mentioned it is pretty niche and I don’t think I’d recommend doing this if your goal is earning money, if you’re doing it out of personal interest as a hobby and because you think it is a fun project, absolutely go for it, no harm done in gaining some experience.

    The idea of the side scroller would be, to give that application a compelling frontend and to “gamify” these tasks even more

    This sounds a bit like hamster simulator, which we used in high school in our “programming” class, the site is in German, but you might the idea. But I can absolutely see how you can make this more compelling.

    My dad also made the switch to mint cinnamon about 3 years ago and I only had to fix things once for him (which was something in partitioning/fstab he or the installer messed up), he has successfully updated and maintained the system for 3 major releases yet and is even happier with Linux on his home laptop than with windows on his work laptop

    Edit: he’s not really tech savvy or something, he’s a teacher by profession
