Old β bad
Personally I don't need fancy. I need stability. If it ain't broken, don't fix it, and I haven't experienced issues with Xorg... But then again, I ditched Ubuntu in 2012 because they switched to that awful search bar launcher doohickey, so I might be a dinosaur in this regard.
If it ainβt broken
But it is...
I still have (or rather had) some screen-tearing somewhere. I very much have annihilated that issue with settings in X11 (though some application somewhere still has issues, be it the video player). And it just feels clunky non the less.
Although I'm currently not using Hyprland, it really feels nice to use, really flowy. I'm currently testing COSMIC (which is reasonably still in alpha, as I got issues with *** nvidia, like suspend sometimes hangs the computer).
That said, I think it's still ok to wait until the whole ecosystem is well supported in wayland, and *** nvidia finally got their wayland shit together.
Tried using Wayland recently, but alas, my Nvidia GPU holds me back once again.
I've been on bazzite for awhile with a 3090 and it runs pretty great.
Maybe give that a shot if possible
Problems arise with old NVIDIA cards
I just wish Wayland weren't so weird about screensavers. It's it so much to ask to be able to lock my account when I have a screensaver activated?*
*This is what I'm told is the issue when it's brought up on KDE, i really don't have the wherewithal to actually dig into it. Could be talking out of my ass on this. Hope I am at least.
Wayland can run fullscreen apps, and react to mouse movements just fine.
While hyprland is really nice, it is made by a transphobe and a large part of the community is also. Switch to something else there are a lot of good alternatives. Kind of a protest against him.

Do you have a source?
Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter
I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.
Install count isn't necessarily reported, and all forms of reporting that I know of on linux are opt-in

Popularity give them followers, followers give them money
Popularity has nothing to do with install count, and nearly every distro does opt-in to show what you're running.

Pretty sure the lead lemmy dev has said some transphobic things as well. They're a major tankie at least.
Thanks for the heads up, but I'm browsing lemmy on a device that is produced at least in part by slave labor somewhere along the logistics chain. At some point I think you just have to disengage from developer drama.
Fair take. Still i try to at least somewhat distance myself from people who want to murder my friends and family... sometimes youre forced to used somethi g you dont want to. Still with linux ricing it is a bit hypocritical to say that you want to use the easiest option as ricing is literally taking the hard path. Just use kde or gnome then. Also, hate the transphobes and not the people who use the software they make, important note.

Let's not remind them who made JavaScript, lol.
