Ive decided to make the switch from Hyprland to Gnome. On my all I had to do was `paru -S gnome` and `sudo systemctl enable gdm` and then I re-booted. everything worked fine and I un-installed Hyprland.
However, on my laptop, I've had issues. I went through the exact same steps, yet I booted into a black screen and a blinking cursor. `journalctl` gave me this:

Jan 20 12:48:02 totalyanadmin gdm[4463]: Gdm: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: VT changed from 1 to 2I googled things, and after being unsatisfyed with results.
ChatGPT told me to do a handful of things, the most extreme of witch being:
- adding `i915.modeset=1` to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`
- blacklist simpledrm
- add `i915` to mkinitcpio `MODULES`
after which, the logs changed to:
