Hyprland Crash Course
Hyprland builds using a pinned commit of wlroots instead of a tagged release because wlroots release schedule is too slow for Hyprland's development [0]
This turns into a problem for maintainers because many distributions refuse to ship non tagged versions of software
Hyprland used to depend on wlroots-git, but when it made the switch to use specific pinned commits a lot more distributions started to package it [1], but some still refuse to do so such as Debian.

Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
I have Hyprland a try some weeks/months ago, and seemingly it had a video memory leak where after some hours of usage, it ended up taking more than 5GB of VRAM, with no signs of slowing down.
I found one issue (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1504) mentioning something similar, but it was closed and I was still experiencing the same issue, so not sure what's going on.
Gnome3 doesn't manifest the same issue, so worth checking out if it happens to you if you're curious about moving from Gnome to Hyprland.

RubyWM – an X11 window manager in pure Ruby
I've been an X11 holdout since forever, but after nvidia proprietary drivers broke for the millionth time on a system upgrade, I switched over to Nouveau and the "Hyprland" tiling compositor on Wayland. It's the only setup that felt worth the upgrade to me. Setup was easy, animations are very slick (scroll down on the link below for a sample), and I've had no bugs or quirks. Highly recommend checking it out if you're bored or curious.

Cosmic Skies of a Colorado July
Resizing looks very sluggish
I suspect they use Gnome Shell.. what a mistake if they do..
https://hyprland.org/ is where it's at
The regular popos shell is built on top of gnome, but I believe COSMIC is a brand new DE built with rust/js.

also, thanks for sharing this.

Quick question..
by searching on google, seems https://github.com/SL-RU/swaylock-fprintd is able to handle the fingerprints, fork of swaylock need the compositor to support ext-session-lock-v1, which hyprland support since release 0.22.0beta: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases/tag/v0.22.0beta
- I made a few seperate hyprland configs, but I'm having trouble making Hyprland run them. I know the main one is at .config/hypr/hyprland.conf, but, my question is, how do I point Hyprland to a config file, which is not in .config/hypr/hyprland.conf?

Wayfire (a Wayland compositor) 0.8.0 announcement
I gave Wayfire a shot a bit earlier in the year, but as I am a Dvorak typist and <https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/1601> is marked as "wontfix", I decided to stick to Awesome for the time being. It did run like a dream, though, even on my ancient potato, so if the keybinding issue does get fixed at some point I may well switch over.
One of the developers just responded on the github issue referecing this thread.
"After a bit of discussion on HackerNews, I got a bit better understanding of the actual problem. People don't want to just configure the keys according to a particular layout - the actual 'issue' here is that they expect the key binding changes together with the layout. Unfortunately, the 0.8.0 changes didn't make this possible to implement as a plugin.
I would reconsider adding this as an option if there are enough interested people. React with a thumbs up to this comment if you are interested in having this option (though the defaults will certainly remain as they are now). Please, react only if you actually use Wayfire or would use it if it had this feature :)"

Do we finally switch to Wayland or not?
Your impression of Wayland is going to be very much determined by the quality of the compositor implementing it, and I've found Wayfire to be the best, by far - but oddly, also the one least talked about. Everybody's paying attention to stuff like Hyprland, Sway and Mutter - you're barking up the wrong tree there. Wayfire is fantastic, has most of the bells and whistles Compiz on X11 has, and is as pretty or as functional as you want it to be.

Swayfire and Wayfire news
might be a small window when wayfire releases a version, before master identfies as the next release number. (see: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/blob/master/meson.build )
On GitHub, last version is 0.7.5.
So I try to find news about Wayfire but on the website the last annoucement concerns 0.7.0.

What is meant by a Fast OS?
That said, many people prefer "fluid" or "smooth" over quick. Or remember these 3D cube or lamp effects, e.g. as redone in https://wayfire.org/ ? Definitely not quick, but people like those.
