That's... surprising. GNOME and Nix has very contrasting philosophies. Anyways, Hyprland is primarily driven by the Arch side of things, considering that: * there are way more Arch users than Nix users * Arch is much more trendy amongst non-developer/Linux users. * Arch is easier to setup and use - less friction * Arch is more popular in the unixporn reddit/YouTube world, which is where Hyprland gained much of its popularity * the Hyprland developer uses Arch, and has recently started selling customized dot files, advertised as "supported on Arch- based and Fedora distributions." Nix users are simply not a driving force in the Linux userland world. | ||

1. GNOME is the 800lb gorilla of linux DEs, so I would be surprised if it weren't the most common DE on any distro that doesn't default to something else. 2. I didn't mean to imply that Hyperland is driven by NixOS (NixOS is niche enough I doubt it drives anything); just that it seems to have hype on NixOS. I use NixOS, I'm semi-active in the NixOS community, and I regularly interact with NixOS users. I don't regularly interact with anybody that uses Arch, so why would I comment on the Arch community? | ||
