If your looking to switch between things like stack/float/tile then I’d recommend sway or awesome, sway has the ability out of the box (iirc super+space) to toggle floating whereas in hypr you need to add or uncomment a line granted both are live update configs so you don’t have to do the dwm rebuild type kerfuffle but still it’s one more thing to get up and running where like I said sway has it natively and awesome has rules for auto-tiling. I’ve used all three pretty extensively and while I love hyprland for its animations I feel it’s config needs a lot of tweaking, honestly so does sway and awesome but I still like them > hyprland.

I like cinnamon, so I intended it as a compliment.

I like it its like if you wanted to get cinnamon but mom said “we have cinnamon at home”

Honestly I suggest learning in avm first so you can do save states. I recommend doing stunting like nix or a declarative/ composable distro. Learn the new way so that your getting the tools and things that are actually being used.

Don’t get me wrong it’s not an easy learning curve but I think it’s the better method of learning.

I went to collage back in the early to mid '10s completed my first year on ubuntu before switching to a 50/50 edubuntu/WIndows drive. Some stuff just required exact windows tools and my department head wouldn’t allow the gnu alternatives as the course work had instructions for windows 7 programs and was already drawing up win 8 plans for next semester too. But writing reports and learning basics was easy enough with the educational ububtu spin.
