Moving from Hyprland to Qtile - Need guidance
Did you look at the linked examples in the official repo? I'm not aware of any other resource like that, except for some bits I found through this subreddit.

Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?

Very new to Linux, how do you launch a program?
Most importantly, there are lines that define keybindings to start programs. I don't use qtile, but I think this example will help you figure things out. For instance, there is the # start specific apps section that explains that (with the given config) you have to press the mod key + n to start the browser or mod key + Enter to start the terminal.

Qtile Theme Switching Script
Declaration for each 'theme'. (See qtile-examples for how to separate qtile into multiple files.)

Why do people use functions in their configs?
I'm not completely dumbstruck, for example I can see that in this config the dev uses functions and hooks (idk what hooks are, sounds like a way to add event-driven functionality) to automatically set the window type to floating if the window name is equal to x.

All hail qtile extras (could be done without too though)
You can find some example configs at qtile-examples but, note, some of those configs are quite old.

How to install on Ubuntu: my solution
Btw. if you're installing from pip anyway, I HIGHLY recommend using git master's version (pip install git+https://github.com/qtile/qtile). It's very stable and it contains a lot of improvements, features and - mostly important - bug fixes, especially because the fact that the last 0.22.1 release is almost one year old. The current master works fine with xcffib 1.4 and cairocffi 1.6 (the newest possible versions).

docs.qtile.org down? Any information to be found?
I think yesterday qtile.org itself seemed to be working properly. Now it is also offline.

Fixed! Thank you
Did you see the changelog? https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/master/CHANGELOG
-
my terminal gone ? setings gone etc..i just remove python
You need to have xcffib in version 1.3.0 and you probably have 1.4.0. You also need cairocffi 1.5.1 and you probably have 1.6.0, so it will fail as the next step. Install correct versions or wait until https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/4289 is merged.

How fedora workstation will run on this laptop?
Hello 👋, I use Gnome for my ThinkPad it works nice for me. But giving your ram I would suggest a window manager like Qtile which I prefer and I am about move from Gnome to it when I finish my configurations. But if you want something which will be usable out of the box Xfce is a nice choice too as people mentioned above. 😁😁 Here is the link to GitHub for Qtile if you want to give it a glance https://github.com/qtile/qtile
