A love Hyprland, but KDE Plasma does so many things for you and saves time. If you want to change screen resolution in Hyprland, you need to check the wiki or man. In Plasma, you simply use the settings app. Each environment has its own purpose, and Plasma’s is for general purpose use.
"Unless you don't want to configure anything"
That's a fairly useless point to make since everyone will always want to look at what configurable options can be adjusted.
No one would buy a car if they couldn't adjust the seat or mirrors.
Most people do not in fact look at the settings of their computer.
A quick and dirty heuristic to find out is to walk through any central transport station or food court and check:
How many people have customised their phone's lock screen?
KDE Plasma has proven to be one of the most customizable desktop environments available. Theming is easily achievable with the versatility of QT, (which is technically on Hyprland but more versatile in a full QT desktop), as well as the versatility of panels that can be moved and modified to whatever you wish for them to be. External plugins or programs like Latte dock, or the Plutonium tile manager further expand on Plasma’s capabilities. Hyprland is also customizable, but almost only through external sources, making Plasma much more accessible and seamless. Of course there are reasons behind this, but each to their own. Feel free to state your own opinions communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz, but since this is an IMO post (basically opinion of the OP), I think we’d all appreciate it if you were more civilized and detailed as to why you felt the need to shoot down the OP. Also, maybe research your claims before commenting.
It is very customizable, that does not counter my claim and I never claimed it wasn't, but if you're going to get deep into customization a basic wm or compositor will usually be better, simply because they are modular and hyprland is absurdly feature rich.
i don't know why you're saying I didn't research this, or I was uncivilized, I just gave my counter opinion. You are clearly misunderstanding me or reading into things I did not say.
