It's open source right? Can't a new maintainer just fork it and tell the Nazi to punch himself?
Hyprland is transphobic
issue is, so many things have been called transphobic, from mere personal opinions to accidents to actual transphobia, i just can't trust a blanket "foo is transphobic" comment.
Hyprland's community has a history of toxicity: https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html
Whoa that GH issue is pretty bad. What a bunch of babies.
It's software with no opinion.
Old β bad
Personally I don't need fancy. I need stability. If it ain't broken, don't fix it, and I haven't experienced issues with Xorg... But then again, I ditched Ubuntu in 2012 because they switched to that awful search bar launcher doohickey, so I might be a dinosaur in this regard.
If it ainβt broken
But it is...
I still have (or rather had) some screen-tearing somewhere. I very much have annihilated that issue with settings in X11 (though some application somewhere still has issues, be it the video player). And it just feels clunky non the less.
Although I'm currently not using Hyprland, it really feels nice to use, really flowy. I'm currently testing COSMIC (which is reasonably still in alpha, as I got issues with *** nvidia, like suspend sometimes hangs the computer).
That said, I think it's still ok to wait until the whole ecosystem is well supported in wayland, and *** nvidia finally got their wayland shit together.
Meh. Does it do anything KDE can't?
Tried using Wayland recently, but alas, my Nvidia GPU holds me back once again.
I've been on bazzite for awhile with a 3090 and it runs pretty great.
Maybe give that a shot if possible
Problems arise with old NVIDIA cards (up to Kepler)
Yeah, definitely not perfect... I hope nvk fixes some of this eventually
Nvk will work on the older cards right?
I just wish Wayland weren't so weird about screensavers. It's it so much to ask to be able to lock my account when I have a screensaver activated?*
*This is what I'm told is the issue when it's brought up on KDE, i really don't have the wherewithal to actually dig into it. Could be talking out of my ass on this. Hope I am at least.
KDE locks the screen out of the box, in fact looking through the GUI options I currently see no way to do a screensaver without locking. Though granted you don't need the compositor to do that anyways.
What's true is that not just any program can lock the screen under wayland, it has to be the compositor or a program the compositor grants the power to do so. That's so that "press alt-tab to login" type prompts can reliably sniff out keyloggers.
Wayland can run fullscreen apps, and react to mouse movements just fine.
