Since Xorg is getting old, looking at trying Wayland WMs

If dmenu was made by a nazi I wouldn't give a shit because its just dmenu but hyprland is so clearly made by a pack of /g/ zoomers who want their desktops to look like 1337 haXors without any access to the low level systems. Its all discord script kiddie hype-beasts.

Its a tiling window manager made by people who never used a tiling window manager on X11. I know I'm sounding like an elitist boomer but this shit really violates some core Unix principals of making small composable utilities that empower the user. RiverWM or Sway keep to this philosophy.

too bad the guy behind hyprland is a shitty little nazi twerp

Hyprland is transphobic

Meh. Does it do anything KDE can't?

Old ≠ bad

Personally I don't need fancy. I need stability. If it ain't broken, don't fix it, and I haven't experienced issues with Xorg... But then again, I ditched Ubuntu in 2012 because they switched to that awful search bar launcher doohickey, so I might be a dinosaur in this regard.

Tried using Wayland recently, but alas, my Nvidia GPU holds me back once again.

While hyprland is really nice, it is made by a transphobe and a large part of the community is also. Switch to something else there are a lot of good alternatives. Kind of a protest against him.

I just wish Wayland weren't so weird about screensavers. It's it so much to ask to be able to lock my account when I have a screensaver activated?*

*This is what I'm told is the issue when it's brought up on KDE, i really don't have the wherewithal to actually dig into it. Could be talking out of my ass on this. Hope I am at least.

I just wish the lead person wasn't you know... Only reason I'm on KDE.

Wayland is pretty darn great nowadays, hell I'm running KDE and got HDR on my desktop; haven't had any odd goings on since 2023 (though nvidia is still meh)

They are called compositors, but they are not as good as X WMs IMO. I'm keeping an eye on them tho.

It still bothers me how toxic the hyprland devs behaved last year. Keeping an eye on that too 😉

I was building a kiosk for my home assistant with my Raspberry Pi. It was very complicated to set up a cage compositor, set up XWayland, setup Chromium Wayland flags, libinput rules, and the touchscreen mapping still doesn’t work… am I missing something here? For X11 everything just works right out of the box…

Hyprland bloated? Huh?

Bloat-ware

If you want a lightweight compositor, then boy do i have just the right thing for you

It's 3x smaller than dwl! Perfect! (and can only run one program by the tty.... but no bloat!!!)

Ok, but I need manual control over how the tiles get arranged and shaped.

And I need to be able to stack windows.

Hyprland is pretty and declarative and has so many cool extensions that work really well and help to tie the experience together, but sway is more functional.

If hyprland offered the same ability to manually control the tile tree that sway offers, I'd use it.

For now I'm shoehorning the hyprland extensions like hyprwall and hyprlock onto sway.

Wayland? Does it have colors, window position memory or hotkeys yet? Or are they still in the "we only sell an idea, you do all the work" vaporware phase?

Wayland has at least one deal breaker for me. It doesn't remember where my windows were at logout when saving the session. I have six virtual desktops and have specific windows in certain desktops. Putting everything back where they belong after each login, no thank you. Until they add that I'll stick to X11.

im waiting on my distro probably or i could be doing just fine on experimental Wayland

Fully customised Hyprland use half as much ram as Plasma, but I still prefer Plasma because I can't get used to WM

Love it, all it's missing is a built-in monocle layout 🙏🙏

Bloated?
