I tried Arch+Hyprland a few months ago and it was rife with issues. Things like not being able to drag files between two windows and random crashes sending me back to login.
Pop OS's built-in tiling manager doesn't have these problems and it has a toggle for alternating between floating and tiled, which is helpful at times. It gets me to where I want MacOS to go without any of the exhaustive setup and just works.
As much as I would like to go with Hyprland for the fancy animations and stuff I don't have the patience for instability or configuration files breaking after updates. I am on team Cosmic for now.
I've been running Arch+Hyprland on my laptop for very nearly 1.5 years. For whatever reason, I've not had the negative experience you describe; it's run buttery-smooth and reliably for me. I like it.
