    A really solid option, in my experience. I’d even call it stable if they weren’t mangling the config from time to time.

      Agreed. Their discord has been full of inconsiderate jokes and memes for a long time. It’s not untypical of many edgy internet communities but it being directly associated with a project isn’t a good look.

      I definitely wouldn’t want to get involved with such a project, altough it is a good piece of software and I don’t see their behaviour influencing the popularity of hyprland.

        My problem with that is that Vaxry is openly in support of the open racism and transphobia in the discord, and with him also being the lead dev I worry it might possibly affect the development at some point

          Yes, with Vaxry being banned from contributing to wlroots, hyprland development won’t get easier. At the same time I’d say wlroots and hyprland are largely feature complete, so not being able to contribute might not have a large impact on hyprland.

    Does Hyperland support scrolling tiling?

    That seems to be the new hotness in tiling WMs.

      Scrolling tiling is a niche not supported by hyprland.

      Personally I’m not yet sure whether I like scrolling tiling. It might be really interesting for single monitor setups, but I feel a dynamic tiler is better for a multi monitor setup. With multiple screens, available space isn’t an issue and not having all windows visible or on another workspace feels like a disadvantage.

      But maybe I just have to get accustomed to niri. The concept is great. Especially on tablets it might be really useful.

    What does it do that sway doesn’t?

    I remember someone talking about animation but I never really look into it.

    @Chewy7324 I’m sorry but I don’t give two shits about Hyprland. I am happy enough with X11, though I wouldn’t mind Wayland once I switch to all AMD. But hyprland is a strict no. Until their entire team publicly apologise for being pathetic juvenile delinquents masquerading as adults, I ain’t touching their shit.

      Hyprland and sway are the most feature complete tiling compositors I’ve tried. But since I strongly prefer dynamic tiling, there’s not much of a choice. River tiling is the best in my opinion. Sadly it doesn’t support moving workspaces between monitors, as each monitor has its own set of workspaces, which is a deal breaker to me.

      In general I strongly prefer Wayland over X11, as I’ve found Sway to be a better experience than i3 + picom for many years (not having to disable the compositor while gaming, better multi monitor support, etc), but having to switch to wayland-native tools is necessary coming from X11 wm’s. For DE’s that’s not an issue.
