I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).
I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.
Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.
they are very similar. my only problem with hyprland was that the mouse is still required for some things, and it’s a bit annoying having to switch back and forth.
on sway, everything can be done by keyboard. i still use the mouse a lot, but there’s less switching in the middle of tasks.
it’s a little difference, but it was worth it for me.
there’s also the drama about some people being transphobic (i think?) in the hyprland discord, but i try not to pay too much attention to that.
hyprland accomplishes it’s goal of being pretty (and i got some really cool screenshots), but sway is pure functionality, and it’s damn good at it.
Lol, hyprland has been partially hijacked by trans furries with tentacle fascinations and it is ridiculous. I disable the anime wallpapers but hyprland and its stack of hyprextras is a refreshing change from your classic OS’s
