A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
Breaking changes
- window/layer rule regexes now require a full match (not any match) to trigger.
- cursor:dumb_copy is gone in favor of cursor:use_cpu_buffer. This should allow no-downsides Nvidia hardware cursors. Please note it’s experimental.

…now it’s (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.
KWin and Mutter probably hold that title and likely will for many years to come. There would have to be a mass exodus or software switch in Plasma and Gnome before Hyprland could match their market share.

Kwin and mutter only run with desktopmanagers, he meant windowmanagers that come around without a desktopmanager, like sway or i3 etc.

I wonder if i3 is more, just because it’s been around forever, but I could certainly see Hyprland as having the most growth among standalone options.

I would think i3 is slowly dying because sway is it’s Wayland replacement. But wrong, i3 has a stable fanbase.
