  • Hi,

    WMs are not built to ship a complete desktop experience. Their entire design philosophy is that you tweak them to your liking and build your own desktop environment by putting together various utilities to achieve your needs. However, some projects try to resolve that by shipping a preconfigured environment that will fit most needs.

    Feel free to look at this repo that has pre configured utilities:

    https://github.com/LinuxBeginnings/Arch-Hyprland

    Alternatively, you may interested in some sort of all in one utility that just does many things at once, in which case something like dank material shell might be more up your alley. Arch provides a meta package (iirc dank-material-hyprland or something like that, best to check your pkg mgr db before installing).

  • I dunno, systemd timers seem overcomplicated, cron is simple and universal (as in expected to be on every system install in one of its variants). You only need to learn how to set the time once and if you’re having difficulties setting up time you can use a website crontab.guru

    Cron’s simplicity also makes it bulletproof, it just runs things on a schedule, that’s it. You can’t expect it to crash or give you any trouble.
