  • hyprland is okayish. it has no window titles you can use to control it one handed with a pointing device, which is very backwards. a top feature is a layer that goes in front of everything. the customization options aren’t that many. it tries to be minimalistic but with effects.

    Gnome themes and extensions have more customization options, but it’s a huge mess. it offers tiling with an extension called Forge. This would also be an alternative.

    Wayfire is also cool, but hard to set up. For some users, after installing, it’s just an empty desktop without even a pointer. It needs utility apps and proper config.







  • HDR is not for the type, but for tge resolution: Transitioning from one color to another over 3000 pixels will often result in very visible steps where each region of one color ends and the next begins. HDR can reduce these steps significantly. You need HDR less, if you have only 1080p, regarless if OLED, LCD or whatever. But if you have 4K and the display fills a lot of your field of view (meaning it’s big or you’re close) it can become super annoying without HDR. Of course, some people don’t mind either way. Maybe check it by visiting a store and getting close to the displays. Ask them to switch HDR off and on.
