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.

Just 2 things are pushing me away from it
- Toxic community
- C++ (I prefer Rust compositors like Niri)
Reminder that the Hyprland community is full of racist and anti lgbt fucks and no one should support them
Interesting, do you only use software from “good people”? Like X (twitter), Brave Browser and oh, obviously Lemmy itself?
I mean, I use hyprland because it’s f*cking awesome, I never heard about how bad their devs are, I only check these stuff if I consider to “donate a coffee” for the devs. And I never tossed a coin for hyprland.
Why shouldn’t I use it?
It’s not like I don’t believe you, but would you mind providing some sources? It’s outside my bubble I guess, I was only able to find some vaxry drama.

And before you dismiss this as Drew’s rambling, I would trust him any day than any of the hyprland devs.
I mean, sure its a problem, but it seems to be largely just about the one occurance of the problem.
Otherwise it seems like the bulk of the post and vaxrys response to that post are about how it was handled and idk if I would have handled it better if I was in that sort of situation.
When I went into the community briefly both on github and discord I was met with immense help to my problems with hyprland (which I now don’t use just because I realized I didn’t need to mess with window management)
If I recall vaxry is young and has some social nuance to learn, this doesn’t excuse behaviors but I can choose to accept a solid attempt at handling a wrongdoing.
I’m amazed by the amount of work being done by Hyprland devs. I remember how they were just starting not that long ago, and now it’s (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.
…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.
