I’m currently using kde and am loving it but online i keep on seeing people say, just get “hyprland or sway”. I want to know why they are so praised compared to a normal DE and why people praise the productivity of them.

Yeah they do look clean and minimal. They do level up a system in how you can change the looks and it organizes the system by itself rather than having floating windows, but why are they “essential for every linux user?”

    What’s the window with the acsii lines and what’s the window on the bottom right?

      I believe, the ASCII lines program is called pipes.sh. The program in the bottom right is cmatrix.

      the person who took the screenshot was showing off their rice. the ASCII lines are a pipe program, similar to the old Win98 Pipes screensaver. the bottom right is literally just the ASCII rain from The Matrix movies.
