>Personally, I wanted Hyprland which is not supported on debian/Ubuntu and only partially supported on Fedora

What? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hyprland https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/hyprland/hyprland/

>But couldn't for the life of me figure out how to install Arch.

I mean, come on. Sure, Arch is not for everybody, but if you are semi tech savy you could have done the internet searches I did and figured out which distros have hyprland packages. Both Fedora and Debian have them.

Arch is also not much harder to install than debian. Insert the image and go through the steps in the installer, this isn't some magic ritual. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall



Try setting up in Debian and let me know how it goes.

I'll even help you. JaKool is the most popular option.

While you're at it, check how many versions the debian package is behind arch/upstream.

It blows my mind how confident people are about knowing something just because they read it somewhere without verifying it themselves.

Vanilla arch is missing so much niceties that take too long to setup.

When your line of thinking there shouldn't be any distros. Just mainline Linux kernel.
