Personally a BIG fan of hyprland

Hyprland’s lead developer is very toxic, and attempting to interact with them on their discord is a recipe for a bad time.

That’s probably the reason why Brodie stopped using it too. Never said why though, just switched to KDE. Which is extremely weird that he did… I heard about the toxicity, cannot confirm myself by first hand, which is the reason why I never tried it out.

Yeah. Even on github, it doesn’t take long to find an example of them just acting like an ass. https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1817#issuecomment-1509207084

Oh god, what a terrible dev (at least from discussion point of view). Definitely disliked it and going to block that person (which doesn’t even matter) after reading the conversation to that point.

Even the first reply (and everything after that, too) by them is awful. Heck, their first reply is far worse already to what you linked.
I remember he was banned from contributing to freedesktop

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for but I run PopOs with Wayland and it works great. Certain games after playing a lot of hours after a few days will make it sort of freeze up for a second here and there. If you log out and back in, it’s all good. It would be only complaint but not a big enough deal to complain about.

Note that you need to enable wayland in some config file

True, it’s really easy though. I watched a video on it, it took me five minutes and I was pretty new to Linux. I still am.
Ngl I feel like I don’t want a ubuntu base as my distro

That’s fair. I used nobara for about a month, based off of Fedora. It worked good, but my sound quit working and I really missed the way I could set up workspaces on popos.
I use a arch based distro called cachyos i used to use regular fedora ngl i prefer arch cause of their aur and am not installing regular arch bcs its hard
