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?

    Arch is just a distro. What DE or Window manager are you on, Wayland or still XOrg?

    rofi and wofi are a good example how this question makes no sense.

      You’re right I sbould have included that in the question. I’m on Hyprland with Wayland so there are quite a few choices. I mentioned rofi (rofi-wayland) and wofi because I can see that they are both options here.

    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.

    I’m fine with Rofi. I’ve used xfce4-appfinder also, it’s less minimal, not configurable (good graphical defaults, might be what you want).
