it was a mesa or wayland crash caused by a conflict in libraries. swayfx used a recent version. but now i realised that i compile it manually, not by guru. maybe it was not there yet when i tried
They're cool but I also think DE's have their use case as well. I used to run arch + hypr for sometime but the whole experience of arch was severely lacking for what I actually ended up discovering so I am on KDE for now. They have some plugins that offer tiling capabilities which I made a nice workflow using them. You could look into niri or sway.
So why did you say "whole experience of arch was severely lacking for what I actually ended up discovering so I am on KDE for now"? That's a non-sequitur as you're comparing a distribution to a window manager.
I phrased it weird. My initial experience with a TWM was with arch. I used hyprland which was awesome, no issues with hyprland. I just didn't like the distro I had (arch) at the time being. So I discovered image-based distros (KDE fedora derivatives) and never looked back!

Love tiling, always have used i3/sway for the longest time, but i have tried almost all of them. Currently on SwayFX
Sbatushe@reddit
which repo?
TheShredder9@reddit
I use it on Gentoo, i think i got it off GURU.
Sbatushe@reddit
tried it a while ago but was very buggy, maybe they fixed it now
TheShredder9@reddit
They probably did, as i have had no issues since i installed it, been on it for over a month, maybe two months now?

Arch has nothing to do with window managers or desktop environments.
