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
