Some people need their daily Distro change. Just like coffee addicts or junkies.
I always like to learn something new! My Hyprland instance was always an unfinished project and probably would have stayed that way for a while.
I have a bad habit of stopping at usable and good enough.
Though I also don't push myself to get more advanced features and configs with sway, I still customize and fix things that would benefit my workflow, no matter how long it takes. Made a wallpaper randomizer, made a little program that opens (and closes) a foot window with vim open editing a notes file, now I'm making a script full screen displaying my timetable on command. Though a dedicated version of the app would be better.
I'll probably go back to Hyprland but it's easier to learn the basics of Gentoo if I'm not having to worry so much about config files.
Besides, support for Hyprland on Gentoo is a little weird when it comes to gtk apps and a few of the issues are similar to kde on Gentoo.
