I know pretty much nothing about the hyprland team, but I was using Omarchy, and liked it very much. But when I read DHH's blog post supporting far-right fuckwit, Tommy Robinson, I removed it from my PC that day. I can't use something created by someone who supports racists.

A bit more information about Linux might have been helpful.

The trick to getting good advice is don't ask a simple question that Google could give you in the first few answers.
When you do ask, show some effort to have tried to fix it yourself.

More importantly, don't insult the people you want help from.
