    That message looks cutesy and whimsical, but would be hard to understand for users with a limited command of English. Though given that it’s Hyprland, concern for the untermenschen is probably not to be expected

      For comparison here’s the error message KDE displays in the same situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/15477a5/screen_locker_is_broken/

      I believe it has no localization support, but the language is clearer and the command it tells you to run is much simpler. A big problem with it is that Ctrl-Alt-F2 does not actually get you to a working TTY on many distros – e.g. on Fedora TTY1 is SDDM and TTY2 is the DE – and the error message is not adjusted based on which TTY is which.
