I'm really excited about trying out Hyprland because I love tons of customization options, even though it might not be super beginner-friendly. I noticed that it typically doesn't support NVIDIA right off the bat, but I've heard there are ways to make it work. I need help finding a Linux distribution that simplifies NVIDIA driver installation and has solid support for Hyprland. I've come across a few options like Pop!_OS, CachyOS, and Bazzite, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Are there other distros I should consider? Just to add, I plan to use Linux for both gaming and heavy productivity, so any insights would be appreciated!

CachyOS is a solid choice! It has out-of-the-box support for NVIDIA GPUs, which makes it easier if you're looking for less hassle. It uses KDE by default, but since it’s based on Arch, switching over to Hyprland should be pretty straightforward. You’ll want to check out the Arch Wiki’s Hyprland article for guidance.
That’s awesome! I’ve heard that when installing CachyOS, you can actually select Hyprland during the installation, which would really simplify things for me. Sounds like CachyOS is the way to go!
