What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I recently started exploring wayland and arch, installing a compositor (Hyprland) and module by module as a go. It's unnecessarily hard but I'm learning a lot from it.

The thing that surprised me the most is the amount of components and projects that are GTK based. I always thought that GTK was a Gnome thing, but it's very much alive outside it as well.
