Breaking changes
window/layer rule regexes now require a full match (not any match) to trigger.
cursor:dumb_copy is gone in favor of cursor:use_cpu_buffer. This should allow no-downsides Nvidia hardware cursors. Please note it's experimental.

Interesting, do you only use software from "good people"? Like X (twitter), Brave Browser and oh, obviously Lemmy itself?
I mean, I use hyprland because it's f*cking awesome, I never heard about how bad their devs are, I only check these stuff if I consider to "donate a coffee" for the devs. And I never tossed a coin for hyprland.
It's not like I don't believe you, but would you mind providing some sources? It's outside my bubble I guess, I was only able to find some vaxry drama.
This is unbeleivably frustrating because AFAICT this is the best Wayland TWM out there, I've been using it for about a year now and it's really good 😅. Have any recs on a feature competative option that isn't run by bigots?
I'm amazed by the amount of work being done by Hyprland devs. I remember how they were just starting not that long ago, and now it's (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.
...now it's (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.
KWin and Mutter probably hold that title and likely will for many years to come. There would have to be a mass exodus or software switch in Plasma and Gnome before Hyprland could match their market share.
Of course, I was comparing it to other "standalone" window managers, not the ones used by GNOME/KDE, since the userbase will be obviously much higher for the desktop environments.
