Hyprland is special because it lets you personalize almost everything while still being easy to use and **looking great**. It's similar to other window managers in what it can do, but it stands out because it runs so smoothly. ([not sure if you have nvidia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPh-5P4XH6o))

Wikipedia defines a tiling window manager as a system that organizes windows into non-overlapping frames, unlike the usual way of stacking windows on top of each other. That's exactly what it is, But let's break it down into simpler terms for the less geeky peps.

+
##### Bindings
63
+

+
Hyprland lets you create custom key bindings to suit your workflow. You can remap keys, create new shortcuts, and customize the window manager to your heart's content. This level of customization is what sets Hyprland apart from other window managers.
65
+
66
+
### Beyond the Basics

+
