Looking for a good app launcher for Linux. Currently looking for something for Arch and I see there’s a lot of options liks rofi and wofi. What are your favourite app launchers and why?

So you’re using Hyprland WM… I’m assuming to have a minimalistic Window Manager… But you want an app launcher.
No offense, but FFS just use a DE at that point. You’re just creating a DE with extra steps. KDE is nice and fairly lightweight.
Plasma has such a good tiling window manager now as well, with one of the most low resource draw frameworks powering it. But it isn’t cool and hip I guess!
Plasma ships with a tiling wm? I thought it was done using extensions like bismuth.
no, it doesn’t
They added native tiling a while back! I am running debian 12 with plasma 5.27 and it is super comfortable.
how did you get tiling working in plasma? bismuth broke after plasma 6 the other ones are also really bad
Tiling is built into plasma after late versions of 5. You can hit super+T to change default layout, shift+drag window to snap to layout, and set custom keybinds for keybord navigation. There might be default settings but I set mine to mimic i3 of the bat so I couldnt tell you what they are…
its really bad compared to real tiling
that’s not even close to being as good as auto tiling in wm’s
no, the point of Windows managers is not to be minimalistic
makes no sense, app launcher+ window manager is still wayy more minimalistic than de
