"I've seen and customized some really cool Linux desktops over the years, from minimal environments to those crazy with effects, animations, transparencies, and every bell and whistle you can imagine. And then I run into a Linux distribution that's so cool out of the box, I'm reminded just how special the open-source operating system is. Recently, I discovered StratOS, and my immediate reaction was, "Wow." I honestly can't remember the last time a Linux distribution had me staring wide-eyed at all its glory."
"Hyprland is a tiling window manager that's not exactly suited for new Linux users. Hyprland is totally keyboard-driven. You can click your mouse all you want, but nothing will happen. In other words, you have to learn a lot of keyboard shortcuts. Open terminal: Super + Return Open application launcher (Rofi): Super + Space Open file manager: Super + E Close focused window: Super + Q Switch to next workspace: Mod + Right Arrow Switch to previous workspace: Mod + Left Arrow"
StratOS is an Arch-based Linux distribution available in GNOME, Hyprland, and Niri flavors. The Hyprland flavor offers a striking, keyboard-driven tiling window manager experience that emphasizes shortcuts and minimal mouse interaction. Default Hyprland visuals present a polished, highly customized desktop immediately after installation. Hyprland requires learning numerous keyboard bindings for tasks like launching terminals, opening the application launcher, switching workspaces, and managing windows. StratOS is freely downloadable and installable. The distribution targets users who appreciate a visually impressive, highly tweaked desktop and are willing to invest time learning tiling-window workflows and keyboard-driven navigation.
