Removing everything from the Waybar I don’t really use that much, rewrote the clock module (turns out you can do that), and just decided to embrace the “Tiling Window Compositor” vibe by relying more on keyboard shortcuts.
What program are you using in place of htop for the CPU stats and temps?
If there isn’t a specific feature you need from Hyprland, I’d recommend trying out something more minimal like River, DWL, and even Qtile seems more minimal in terms of resource usage.
None of those come close to how good hyprland as a “software” is
I probably should look at what else is out there. Hyprland is my first go at a tiling window manager/compositor. The overall graphics and presentation is what grabbed my attention in the first place. The recent “kerfuffle” on Discord was a bit off-putting though.
