I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS

Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don’t want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU)

Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE)

I’m also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect

    Wayland on Nvidia is not stable.

    I’m using hyprland which adds another layer of instability as hyprland itsself can be ropey with Nvidia

    Even with gnome Wayland I have had a number of issues though, electron stuff is dodgy at best, hibernation doesn’t work (might not be Wayland specific)

    Applications don’t resize properly sometimes and crash more often

    I think it entirely depends on your setup, I’ve had separate issues with Nvidia Wayland across my PC and laptop
