Hate to say it but no, hyprland really is unless you need a windows like experience/don't want to configure anything.

Remember about cognitive effort, window managers are for people looking to invest time in learning keybinds and new workflows, Plasma and Gnome do a better job of satisfying a bigger userbase and most workflows are easy to port to another desktop environment.

In my opinion that makes Plasma and Gnome the best desktop environments, no matter how much I prefer standalone window managers.

That's why I said "if you don't want to configure anything"

Well yes, but my point is that one can intuitively can use regular DE's and be productive, the same is not true for window managers. Regardles if one co figures or not.

The beauty of linux is there is options!

Different people prefer different things and you can freely choose between all the things!

Of course, I recommend kde to people who don't want to configure anything and want a windows like experience, but when saying something is the best, as they claim, these qualifiers become important.

best for what?

He means the best in desktop experience when it comes to desktops with the best adoptability.

Hyprland is a compositor, not a desktop environment.
