So what made you go back to Arch exactly?
I usually live in Arch, Void, and Slackware-current. I was curious about Wayland and Hyprland, and wanted to run it by itself, with no other DEs, WMs, or X11 present on a bare-bones system. Being that Hyprland is officially supported in Arch, and well represented in the AUR, it seemed like an ideal place to start my little adventure.
Last time I checked, Void doesn't have an official Hyprland package, I'm hoping with the newly released, and updated Void install media, that Hyprland will one day soon become available for testing. Although, River seems to be an intriguing alternative under Void, which may require further investigation :-)
Slackware offers a Slackbuild of Hyprland, of which I haven't tried......yet.
So far, I'm very impressed with Hyprland, even on older hardware, it loads smoothly, looks good.......and makes a strong case for ditching X11. Herbstluftwm and Spectrwm were my favorites under Xorg, and at this juncture, I highly doubt I will switch back.
Peace
