Hyprland’s lead developer is very toxic, and attempting to interact with them on their discord is a recipe for a bad time.

Is there anything other than hyprland that has special workspaces like it does? I used to use it until I found out about everything with the developer and that’s the feature I miss the most

KDE calls them Activities I believe, And you can set up what windows go where

That’s probably the reason why Brodie stopped using it too. Never said why though, just switched to KDE. Which is extremely weird that he did… I heard about the toxicity, cannot confirm myself by first hand, which is the reason why I never tried it out.

Yeah. Even on github, it doesn’t take long to find an example of them just acting like an ass. https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1817#issuecomment-1509207084

One rooted in toxicity, which is a problem for people who want to help develop it. They are like that on github too.

Literally driving development away.

Void Linux straight up refuses to package it.

FreeDesktop has cut all ties with Hyprland.

edit: Do you really want to have to file bugs and work with a borderline Nazi apologist?

I’m tempted to try Hikari just because it uses Darcs.

I preferred it to Git until Git dominated so thoroughly that I started using Git for personal as well as work projects.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
