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.
Is there anything other than hyprland that has special workspaces like it does? I used to use it until I found out about everything with the developer and that’s the feature I miss the most
KDE calls them Activities I believe, And you can set up what windows go where
Plasma’s activities are nothing like special workspaces, they’re even further away from special workspaces than the normal plasma workspaces are. Special workspaces overlay over top of the actual workspace you’re currently using and can be moved between monitors and opened and closed independently of normal workspaces.
Closest thing I can think of would be the tags system from DWM iirc or AwesomeWM or on Wayland RiverWM. They can be used like traditional workspaces but you can have a number of workspaces (tags) active at once. However, they are more merged and tiled together instead of overlayed on top which sounds like what the special workspace would do. At the time I used AwesomeWM I never really used the tags system to it’s full potential and only used it like traditional workspaces.
I remember he was banned from contributing to freedesktop
Then just… don’t do that?
It’s a solid wm
One rooted in toxicity, which is a problem for people who want to help develop it. They are like that on github too.
Literally driving development away.
Void Linux straight up refuses to package it.
FreeDesktop has cut all ties with Hyprland.
edit: Do you really want to have to file bugs and work with a borderline Nazi apologist?
Wow, I understand that the issue tracker isn’t the right place to have posted that but I still can’t believe so many users sided with vaxry over the nazi thing
