Hello,

first I installed Gentoo with glibc and it worked fine, I got sway up and running but after some time I got bored and wanted something new. so I decided to go with Arch with rEFInd bootloader but I couldn't make it work. Arch dropped me into a rescue shell. so I went back to Gentoo but this time with musl and this time I tried Hyprland on Gentoo. there were 133 packages to install for Hyprland, so I went for installing those packages but the build failed probably because using musl. now I thought I just pick that's easy to setup and I went with Debian and it got installed successfully. so yeah, right now I am using Debian after the back and forth between Arch and Gentoo.

sadly I pissed of some Gentoo devs on IRC #gentoo :(

maybe it was my fault I shouldn't have distrohopped when Gentoo was installed succesfully and working fine.

Easiest way of installing hyprland is a combo that only needs 30 min.

  1. Install Arch Linux with "archinstall"
  2. Don't choose any DE or WM
  3. reboot and Log into just arch Linux commandline.
  4. choose one of these hyprland dotfiles devs from github with an install-script

PS. For your hopping experience: time to meet fedora.
