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.

They added native tiling a while back! I am running debian 12 with plasma 5.27 and it is super comfortable.

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.
