Nope, the hype around it is because it’s a Rust-based DE whose features compete with Hyprland and Gnome while hopefully improving upon both.
People are excited for what it promises to be, but it’s not even close to fully cooked, though several people have found that the current features work for their day to day usage. I don’t really want to have to deal with bugs or big changes, so I’ll also be waiting.
I couldn’t use the current alpha as a daily driver because I didn’t see a supported/intended way to manage starting and maintaining my ssh-agent upon login. Besides that, it felt good enough that I’d use it for more than a few days if I could.
The only thing I feel is missing for me is being able to set default applications for files, and some sluggishness when starting VLC. Otherwise it works for me with Steam games, Firefox, Libreoffice, Freetube, and some music applications.
I have no problems with listening to music, gaming, browsing web.

Have not tried recently? Any gamers able to use it daily?
