Trying out the end-4 dots on Garuda Hyprland. I think I like it. A lot.
Wasn’t too hard to install, had to build a couple dependencies from source, and uses hyprland-git
instead of hyprland
that Garuda uses by default. New main daily driver coming through.
Garuda-Sway by @BluishHumility
Correct, Hyprland, MOKKA, Sway … , no Sway, MOKKA, Hyprland … or …
It definitely has more moksha than Brave browser (which I also still use a lot)! Curiously, when loading certain translation engines, where on Brave I could get into an infinite loop of captchas (even with shields down), Firedragon had no such obvious sneaky gate-keeping trackers.
Really nice, man.
It’s hard to make Gnome look much different from stock even with all my extensions unless I apply shell themes and such. But even then it’s a fight to theme libadwaita/GTK4 apps. Hate how restrictive they’ve made Gnome. For instance, global menus. Small thing for most, easy to implement, no intrusive much at all. Previous Mac user here, and it just bothers me to no end they ACTIVELY block being able to have a global menu in apps (exported) or in top panel (display). Usually that’s why I can’t stay on Gnome for too crazy long. Plus it’s so easy to bork your install with theming.
Feels a little more polished than KDE personally, but love that KDE offers most of the things I’m missing. Plus I know KDE will get more “polish” as time goes on.
But this is in addition to Garuda Hyprland, so I have that to fall back in if I get to frustrated with Gnome lol
Gnome with kde levels of customisation…
WAKE UP, it seems you had a dream, a wet one
