What I know about hyprland so far.
- it’s the wayland i3/bspwm (newer than sway)
- forgoes all x11 conventions for it’s own new standard
- this means it requuires it’s own special ecosystem.
- primarily meant for Arch but seems to work well on Fedora/Debian as well (it’s just a WM)
- configuration is declarative, this is nice. Planning to couple with nixos in the future
