#adventures in hyprland

[journeymode]

On today's episode of "Adventures in Linux" - I reinstalled OpenSuse Tumbleweed a few days ago (because I briefly *shuders* reinstalled Windows 11 just so I could update my BIOS), and as such I decided to use this opportunity to split up user accounts.

I have my main account which I use for my day-to-day things and that will continue to stick to KDE for the foreseeable future. It's what I'm comfortable with, decently enough experienced and, most importantly, very happy with. KDE is stable and reliable and I love it.

But, on my previous Tumbleweed install I had started to mess around with Hyprland a little bit. I don't want to do that with my main account anymore though, because I don't want to take the risk pf maybe accidentally breaking something.

So I made a dedicated user to play around with Hyprland, and while it took wayyy longer for me than I'm willing to admit, I eventually managed to get Step One to work. Getting a wallpaper to actually show up. And then I also fiddled with the Kitty config a little bit and now have fish as my default shell when the terminal gets started as soon as I log in.

Another little side project for me to work on this year. It comes with the added feat of learning how to do more things exclusively with command line. This was a fun headache!
