I've given Elementary and Pantheon a chance, and I'm sorry to say that I'm unfortunately not staying. It just is too buggy for my liking, from broken gestures to broken styling system-wide, among other things. I think I'm going to go back to Arch and Sway.
Edit: I ended up choosing Labwc instead due to a lack of support for NVIDIA-open with Sway.

So I've lasted all of 20 minutes with #gnome and am switching to #swaywm #linux
Gnome seems like a great option if you're a beginner or want a very #MacOS experience. I prefer #MainstreamOS which has a Mac style launcher but a tiling window manager. And it's prettier and more modern feeling.
installed sway on my debian laptop this afternoon using https://justaguy.dev/drew/sway-setup because I have sorta lost the love of ricing things.
Worked flawlessly. All I did was write a kanshi config for the proper output and 1.25 scaling, and setup my normal keybinds.
Going to once again just try using foot because it is there and honestly all the terminal functionality I make use of comes from tmux.
Also just feels nice using debian again. Things are just much less fussy than arch.
For Omarchy Quattro #Linux there's tool to search through commands and execute them viamenu as an alternative to memorizing so many keyboard shortcuts.
There's a pull request to enable a keybindings IPC on #Sway to support that, along with a script to use Fuzzel for the same kind of search-and-execute app:

TIL that you can replace standard Xwayland with xwayland-satellite and get fractional scaling in #SwayWM for X11 apps.
All it takes is setting WLR_XWAYLAND to xwayland-satellite path (more or less). Goodbye few blurry windows. I suspect there's going to be some dragons somewhere but this looks usable!

@Purplegengar25 I've been running #debian everywhere for years. It's stable and boring-in-the-best-sense. I don't know about plasma or gnome (I run #swaywm ) but can't imagine you won't be happy and make everything work the way you want.
@stib I've since checked out #SwayWM, and I can say that while indeed there's less resistance involved in migrating from #i3WM than in the case of #Hyprland, I also found that in general the configuration process for both i3 and Sway is less intuitive than for Hyprland. Also, Sway still does not correctly load #XCompose keybinds the way #X11 does. This is generally excusable since that's not really in the scope for what we ought to expect any #Wayland compositor to do.
On the matter of Hyprland's toxic community, I don't know much about it besides what's available on Drew's blog (https://drewdevault.com/blog/Hyprland-toxicity/), and in Vaxry's response (https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandsCommunity). The general impression I get from this interaction is that @drew is probably right in saying that Hyprland has a toxic community, but Vaxry's response raises some un‐challenged objections which are not entirely unreasonable. I also get the impression from Vaxry's own blog that they're probably too blithe when it comes to moderation, which may or may not be due to some underlying motivations.
All in all, I don't feel I know enough about this to make a complete judgement. For now I think I'll stick to i3, only because I get to keep my compose sequences.
sometimes people use GNOME
why GNOME?
because they like GNOME
sometimes people use KDE
why KDE?
because they like KDE
sometimes people use swaywm
why swaywm?
because they like swaywm
these are not incompatible preferences, even if you hate one or the other, or do not understand the reasons behind the perference, do not disparage someone for their preferred desktop environment or window manager
this is called being a kind and respectful person
thank you for coming to my TED talk

RE: https://mastodon.social/@diegoaep/116493998055071198
Parece ser que será trabajo extenso. Actualmente mi OS está un poco lleno de Bloatware porque como instalé arch a mano siendo noob, puede que haya agregado 2 o 3 cosas innecesarias y ahora no se cuales puedo o no desinstalar.
Así que el paso 1 será crear una lista de todo lo que hace funcionar correctamente mi SO y otra de lo que puedo desechar por completo, para luego buscar las alternativas de Wayland y seguir teniendo un SO funcional.
Llevo algún tiempo usando i3wm, la verdad que he notado la diferencia que tiene de un Entorno de Escritorio así que no pienso abandonar los Window Managers.
Sin embargo, he estado viendo movimiento en torno a Wayland, creo que es tiempo de probarlo y ver si tiene diferencias notables a Xorg para mí. Así que pronto estaré instalando Sway, espero no romper nada.🤣
