    I switched over from v4 a couple days ago, and its a nice upgrade. Gotta make sure to disable any theme templates in v4 first though, or they’re permanently applied, can’t even get rid of them by deleting the files.

    How does Noctalia compare to DMS? They seem very similar projects, and I’m just curious to hear from people who have tried both.

    First wayland DE (?) that looks nice to me. Thinking about switching from KDE but I doubt it’s as polished… The plugins seem to be nice, as they seem to be using many of the same software stack as I do (Syncthing, Tailscale, KDE Connect, scrcpy, …).

  • I tried Noctalia for a bit. I like what they are going for. It’s a pretty simple way to get the hyprland experience. I do think I still prefer raw hyprland and ricing it myself though. I do hope it will be a good entry point for people that haven’t tried hyprland.

    I’ve been using it for a while, it’s very nice on minimal WMs like sway
