Stay Away from My Trash
Ghostty turned on Discussions and made it the first place for users to go report bugs, make feature requests, etc., then promotes those to issues once it's detailed enough for the maintainers to accept: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/3558
Later, Hyprland followed suit: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/9854
I'm sure there are other projects doing the same, but those are the two I know about off the top of my head.

Hyprland Premium
Some context for anyone unfamiliar with the linux desktop space:
Hyprland is a "wayland compositor" (roughly analogous to an X Window Manager) that is under active community development: https://hypr.land
Wayland is considered the future of the linux desktop and is what projects like Valve's SteamDeck are using: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope
It's known that Hyprland Premium is going to include a bunch of pre-made dotfiles including a Quickshell bar config, if you want to see the current top-tier rice: https://quickshell.outfoxxed.me/

Apple's Software Quality Crisis: When Premium Hardware Meets Subpar Software
> 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)?

Hyprland 0.44.0 Is Out
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.

Hyprland is now independent, dropping wlroots
and yet hyprland uses a CoC?
https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT...
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.
