The fact that you had to rewrite your whole config like 2 months ago and now do it again because they switched to lua makes me think they have no plans and just do shit on a whim.

>vaxy had a mood swing and now you have to update your config file
This is the main reason why I don't use Hyprland, Varxxy is too autistic and has mental breakdowns frequently, he also engages in Reddit/Twitter internet fights for no reason instead of working on his WM.

Had the project have someone at least mentally stable that wound't break it on a whim, I would use it.

I have tons of issues on wayland, especially with xwayland. The cursor is also laggy.

They're just afraid to admit that at some point Vaxy made them mad. I don't know anything about him besides reading 2 blog posts he wrote on his website (went down a rabbit hole when reading the docs and hearing people talk about dbus), and he seems alright. He can make decent analogies, which is always my personal way to determine someone's IQ. Hasn't failed me yet.
>>
>>108796609
Yeah I want to try out Hyprland's scrolling mode as a Niri-fag. I hope it's a bit more fleshed out compared to MangoWC's version (maybe they've updated it since I last tried tbf).
>>
>>108793807
My point is that a lot of people think wayland is a buggy / bad piece of software when it isn't even a program / piece of software.
It's just a protocol spec that devs can implement and the spec is there so things can talk to each others.

A wayland compositor is just that, a compositor that implement the spec, there are good and bad ones.

Ie river is a lot closer to what X is than to what a window manager that relies on x is.
Most of the wayland issues people have are not issues with wayland itself but with implementations of it.

Alslo, if you do write your compositor, you do not have to fully adhere to the spec, ie you could allow things that the spec wouldn't, ie let apps access other apps's i/o you are basically free to do whatever you want, it's more of just a guide to build your own compositor and have it compatible with software.

i mean its been years since i started complaining that global hotkeys, even in kde, arent actually global and have specific requirements that clash with what i want to do. YEARS anon.

>My point is that a lot of people think wayland is a buggy / bad piece of software when it isn't even a program / piece of software.
You're assuming that the guy that you quoted talked about wayland compositors and not the wayland protocol. Also it doesn't matter if a single wayland compositor adds its own protocols. That just makes it worse since it makes it harder for applications to create software that targets _wayland_. What ends up happening is that software doesn't target wayland, they target kwin, mutter, wlroots, hyprland, etc. How is that an improvement of targeting a single platform (such as x11)? And no it's not because xorg is a single x11 implementation, but because the x11 protocol is intentionally made to allow a lot of different use cases with simple constructs (mechanism over policy)
>>
>>108797396
being able to switch layouts easily comes in handy it handles all of them very well. what's with the sperg reaction?

What i found that Hyprland has its own article in Grokipedia, not Wikigreedia

>>108796633
I care because that's one of the reasons the WM breaks so much. Months ago it broke literally because he was too busy discussing politics on twitter and pushed a wrong patch, he himself admitted that and said sorry for it.
If you like it, I'm on the same boat, because I think it's a great project, if only the lead developer would stop focusing in internet fights and fixed the issues it would be even better.

If his lack of mental stability stops hurting project, it will be worth going back.

nta but we're aware. Wayland itself is coming up on 20 years and they still haven't settled on a standard for detecting the primary display, among other things.
"It's just the implementations that are bad" is the same cope of the people working on it. Maybe if no one could create something good with your protocol in 17 years it's a bad protocol. The only reason it's getting more popular recently is because it's being forced for political interests.
It goes both ways, Xorg isn't the only X11 implementation. The true successor to X on unix-like systems is Xlibre. The only people actually excited for Wayland are corporations that want a cheap solution for IoT device interfaces/kiosk providers, and newfags that just came from Windows who were told it's "cutting edge" in some Discord server.

Canonical tried the same thing. https://canonical.com/mir
The only difference is Red Hat convinced some retards it's for desktop use so their clients can save some dev time.

this is out of scope for wayland, wayland is only a communication protocol between clients and the display server

The config wasn't that hard to migrate but all of my scripts are fucked and they're all specific to hyprland so I have to convert it or switch to another wm and make new ones anyway. I feel like I've been raped.
