What's the good window manager for a beginner?
As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3.

Yode-Nvim - Focused Code Editing for NeoVim
I had little success with manual splits because I was busy resizing most of the time. Therefore the idea with windows that are always as big as their content. The code for the windows is already built so that the logic per tab is interchangeable, how the windows should behave. You just have to implement more layouts, as I call them. The concept comes from Xmonad. In this link you can see examples when you scroll down to "Layouts": https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib

Hyprr (Hyperland Configuration Tool in Rust)
I'm daily-driving Hyprland and even tho I love it, having no easy GUI tool to configure it or at least view some info (at least I couldn't find any) was a bit annoying, so I decided to create my own.

Is there a minimal working demo of greetd with wlgreet?
I already have a working Guix, running with Gnome & GDM. But I can't really make it work with, say, HyprLand(https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland). I don't really see an option in gdm, it's not detecting wayland WMs I guess.

when will Hyprland be packaged ?
Hyprland is a Wayland compositor/window manager , it already has a ton of users , but still we have to compile it manually from the AUR or the source code which is time & resource consuming (gotta do it with every update) , instead of grabbing a binary , how can I/we request the repos maintainers to package it ?
their [GitHub repo]((https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland) has +3.5K star and the last commit to it was 13 hours ago , the project is very active
