Hyprland

I've been an X11 holdout since forever, but after nvidia proprietary drivers broke for the millionth time on a system upgrade, I switched over to Nouveau and the "Hyprland" tiling compositor on Wayland. It's the only setup that felt worth the upgrade to me. Setup was easy, animations are very slick (scroll down on the link below for a sample), and I've had no bugs or quirks. Highly recommend checking it out if you're bored or curious. https://hyprland.org/

> If you’re someone who grew up on Macs there’s almost nothing in the Linux desktop space that tries to replicate that set of patterns… it’s all Win9X-type taskbar setups, mobile-type setups (GNOME, Pantheon), old niche *nix setups (e.g. WindowMaker), and of course minimal tiling WMs. There’s no clones of Mac OS of any flavor. Have you seen https://hyprland.org?

It seems they are no longer using wlroots. This is news to me. This makes it something more than a slightly polished sway reimplementation and maybe worth taking a look at. https://hyprland.org/news/independentHyprland/

If you go to the homepage: https://hyprland.org/ It says "Tiling Compositor" as its first words. That's what it is. It's not a "window manager" since that's an X11 term, and this is a Wayland Compositor, not an X11 Window Manager. I feel like the landing page explains very clearly what it is for the target audience, which is someone who uses wayland and knows what a tiling compositor is.

There is also rather new decent competitor for Sway: https://hyprland.org/

You forgot [Hyprland](https://hyprland.org). It's a quite stable auto-tiler for Linux (Wayland).

I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.

I've tested using i3 but never fully got into it. But my plan for the F13 is to try out Hyprland[0] and perhaps Sway[1]. [0] https://hyprland.org/ [1] https://swaywm.org/

The regular popos shell is built on top of gnome, but I believe COSMIC is a brand new DE built with rust/js. > https://hyprland.org/ is where it's at also, thanks for sharing this.

Resizing looks very sluggish I suspect they use Gnome Shell.. what a mistake if they do.. https://hyprland.org/ is where it's at

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks. [0] [0]: https://hyprland.org/

> It's only with arch+hyprland Oh wow, that is pretty. https://hyprland.org

It's the hyperland <https://hyprland.org> config format.
