From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alternatively (speculating here), you might be able to use Nix to install Hyprland onto an existing immutable distro like Silverblue.
Nix people please chime in!
Yes, I was thinking about that as well and even found some guide on how this can be done. Actually I was eyeing uBlue but it should be exactly the same procedure for both.
The other option is I guess to rebase the system to something like this https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue?tab=readme-ov-file which already provides the Hyprland.
Are there any particular advantages and disadvantages of both methods that I should be aware of?
Ah yeah that looks perfect, just get WayBlue Hyprland then! That sounds like exactly what you need.
No need to mess about with user services in systemd and display manager config.
I've been using wayblue on my own desktop. They have sane defaults & very pleasant theme. They do a good job keeping their image up to date & enable auto-updating from the get-go.
Thanks, I will do exactly that then
