hyprpicker VS Hyprland

Hyprland also has one.

wl-color-picker sucks. Why not try hyprpicker?

> If you’re someone who grew up on Macs there’s almost nothing in the Linux desktop space that tries to replicate that set of patterns… it’s all Win9X-type taskbar setups, mobile-type setups (GNOME, Pantheon), old niche *nix setups (e.g. WindowMaker), and of course minimal tiling WMs. There’s no clones of Mac OS of any flavor.

Have you seen [Hyprland](https://hyprland.org)?

If you go to the homepage: https://hyprland.org/

It says "Tiling Compositor" as its first words. That's what it is.

It's not a "window manager" since that's an X11 term, and this is a Wayland Compositor, not an X11 Window Manager.

I feel like the landing page explains very clearly what it is for the target audience, which is someone who uses wayland and knows what a tiling compositor is.

and yet hyprland uses a CoC?

I joined the hyprland discord after seeing many reports of hyprland having a "toxic" community to verify the claims myself, I must say I'm disappointed. I expected to see some real raunchy stuff, instead it's quite literally one of the most trans-positive and otherwise politically milquetoast servers I'm in.

The initial rules post you have to agree to before gaining access to the server has hundreds of reactions of various trans flag emotes too.[0]

What's the problem here? The whole drama seems like virtue-signalling politically-correct FOSS devs attacking other politically-correct FOSS devs.

I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.

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.

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.
