Even on Debian 12? That's what I've installed now and I really want to give it a shot.

Edit: tried setting up Hyprland via the Manual install from Releases way, it needed a few libxcb dependencies and it needed execute permissions, but after that I hit a roadblock: libxcb-errors which doesn't seem to be available on Debian.

    I guess I could have taken solving the depencies for granted. I've built and installed it on both Arch and Fedora but obviously those repos would be more up to date.

    Yeah, I switched to AwesomeWM for the time being, but I'll be honest, I'm getting fed up of it all. I think I'll try Fedora later and if that doesn't work for me.... I really don't know what I'll switch to.

    Fedora has an official package of it as well.

    Yeah. I'm on Fedora currently and it turns out that, through Copr and rpmfusion, I could get everything set up and all my packages installed so I've been on it for a few days now, and with dnf5, install speeds are actually good so I've decided to stick to it, and I think I'll keep on using it for the foreseeable future, probably at least until the release of Fedora 40 (at which point, if all my packages and Copr repos are updated for Fedora 40, I'll probably upgrade to it, as it seems there is really nothing better for me out there: I've tried Arch, NixOS, Tumbleweed, Debian, Ubuntu, Void, and many others and they all lack something I need). So, Fedora might just become my forever distro, but who knows? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
