Fedora is known as the leading-edge Linux distro, offering an excellent balance between stability and access to the latest Linux features. Ubuntu, on the other hand, has traditionally offered a stable and reliable experience but has often lagged behind Fedora. It’s actually one of the main reasons I decided to ditch Ubuntu, even though it was my first Linux distro.

After switching my Fedora laptop from GNOME to Hyprland, I started paying a bit more attention to what actually runs when I log in. Under GNOME, a lot of this was easy to forget about.

I did not start this because I wanted a screenshot for /r/unixporn. I wanted to stop moving windows around manually. That was basically the entire plan. Four days later I have Hyprland, Waybar, Rofi, custom battery logic, a terminal file manager, several small helper scripts, a reproducible installer and documentation explaining
