Guys, recently I installed EndeavourOS as dualboot (Ableton Live, MaxMSP and Touchdesigner keeping me on that microsoft teat), and was pondering using Hyprland. I now use Gnome, configured in a nice way, but I cannot deny the eye-candyness of some riced up distros I've seen around. My question is: I have very little programming background, is it worth it the time investment to go into Hyprland, or is it better left to more advanced users?

hyprland's configuration is pretty straightforward i think, as long as you got time

with a tiling WMs you'll have to reimplement yourself everything that the desktop environment used to do for you, things as simple as volume buttons you'll have configure yourself for by default they won't do anything at all

this will change how you view desktop computers forever, change your whole paradigm, the first few days or weeks you'll get very frustrated because of all that 's missing, then you'll have new habits, build your own experience from scratch, make keyboard shortcuts that would make sense for nobody but yourself, you'll learn about the unix philosophy, have your entire experience optimized with custom shell scripts

is it worth it idk, really depends on the kind of person you are, but i'd say everything that takes you away from gnome is worth it lmao

getting into all of this cause of some some "eye-candy" >reddit screenshots is kinda gay and retarded tho

Manjaro, I have used Ubuntu, Fedora and Mint before. In my experience running them in a virtual machine, Manjaro was the most stable and fastest. I'm sure other distros can be just as good running on the hardware directly but for a VM it's Manjaro for me.

(I'm actually trying to choose between zsh and fish) (Though I still think bash is fine)

I don't care what terminal you use, they are all good choices.

Except fish.

Never, ever, ever use fish.

Fish is not a real terminal.
It never has been.
Fish cannot run shell scripts.
Fish was not designed to run shell scripts.
It's author acknowledges it will never run shell scripts.
Do not use it as a shell. It is not a shell.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I got a bit tired from the windows themes so I decided to mesh up random shit and I'm happy how it turned out

Here are the things I used to assemble this
Theme: (https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes/view/Cinnamox-Willow-Grove)
Icons: (https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1012233/)
The wallpaper I got from here: (https://github.com/D3Ext/aesthetic-wallpapers)
And of course let's not forget the miku cursor: (https://www.gnome-look.org/p/2124099)


Linux mint cinnamon for those wondering

It can't run bash scripts? Lol then I'm not touching it. My entire workflow depends on some bash scripts I wrote a decade ago I'm not rewriting those.

of course it "can" the interactive shell is not necessarily the same one as the one that runs the script when you type ./script.sh in fish or whatever it won't use fish it will use the software path after #! in the first line of the file so /bin/bash which is bash or /bin/sh which is most probably bash

Here is an interesting (to me, as a teacher) post on newbies to the command line and fish:

You could link /bin/sh to a POSIX complaint shell like dash or bash.
