    I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.

    I told my wife, “but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.” And that was that.

    I shall tell this story to my grandkids.

    I just got into wayfire after using Hyprland and nobody prepared me for the cylinder. I will open windows and wait for the screensaver just to see the rotating cylinder. So much better than the cube

          Works fine on my laptop (1650 hybrid) and desktop (3070 no iGPU)

          Under NixOS on both machines, no xwayland.

            programs.hyprland = {
    enable = true;
    enableNvidiaPatches = true;
  };

          Is the basics to get it up and running under NixOS + HomeManager

            I’ve done that already though haven’t disabled xwayland didn’t realise that would work without being compatibility

              Just don’t run X applications 😅

              I’ve seen no issues on my setup, might just be luck of the draw? What hyprland build are you running? What issues are you seeing?

      Amen. I’d install Hyperland on both of my “main” PC and on my Rpi 4 but my rpi 4 (still) has sway and it “just werks” so eeeeeh

    Just switched last night!!!

    So far it’s been great, but I need a way to migrate over my keybindings from xmodmap. I tried searching but everywhere I go gives a different answer. Can anyone help guide me in a direction? I’m primarily looking to remap caps to escape/control on hold. Would be great to remap some unused keys on my laptops keyboard to media keys as well. Thanks!!

        Knew I should have read the docs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        In my (not very thorough) read, I saw something about the bindings being per application. Maybe I should stop reading documentation before falling asleep

    Sway has become a joy to use over time as I’ve fucked with my config but now I feel like it’s more boring too I barely ever feel the need or want to massively change anything 🥲

      Same, I got “bored” so I tried hyprland for a bit on another machine, but when I realised I’d rather have the animations turned off, and was trying to make the config the same as my Sway one, I realised all I needed was Sway. Swaylove4eva

      you can always use a login manager to manage different WM sessions. When i get bored of sway i switch to hyprland, i use different bars for each one too. Its bloat but its fun.

    Fedora Sericea is my current daily driver. Loving it so far. I’ve used Sway, River, and Hyprland on Arch, Fedora, and NixOS. The combination of an immutable system augmented by flatpaks and distrobox are supporting my goal to never wipe the drive again.

    Sway is more stable and lightweight for me than Hyprland. I don’t use Nvidia hardware at all. The lead Dev on Hyprland is a treasure though. 10/10 for that human being.

    I’m with you. One day I was like “I wonder if Wayland’s mature enough to use as my daily driver now” and installed Sway on a Raspberry Pi. I used DWM before, but now Sway’s my default.

    The only issue I still have is that I wish Zoom and ffmpeg supported the wlroots-specific screen capture methods. Those are the only things lacking that are keeping me on i3/X11 on the machine I use for work.
