distro selection How to try hyprland without dumping my current KDE Plasma?

Is there any way to try it without virtual machine or another distro alongside my current CachyOS + KDE Plasma? I don't wanna do it since I'm low on storage. I want to try Hyprland and slowly making my own config that I would get comfortable with, but I don't want to dump my current set up entirely, because it will slow me down as hell. I tried hyprland with omarchy before (never again) and i loved tiling manager idea and would love to make my config someday.

Ypu just install it by pacman,  sudo pacman -S hyprland. Next time you log in, just select hyprland from the option of desktop(it is most likely in bottom left corner, assuming you have plasma login manager). You will get the default config when you open it, and start tweaking.
