The reality is that, although there are quite a few standalone Wayland compositors, you don’t hear about most of them, because almost all of them suck in one way or another if you go beyond opening terminals.

For standalone desktops, Hyprland is undeniably your best base at the moment to write a window manager.

If you don’t believe it, see some amazing WM plugins for Hyprland on Github,

Your favorite tiling WM doesn’t have a Wayland port? Pick up the initiative yourself and write a Hyprland plugin that makes it behave like your WM of choice.

Said the person who maintains Hyprland. This post reads like an ad for his own project.

Isn’t this the toxic dev, who dislikes any other Wayland Compositors? This guy is also banned from contributing to Freedesktop here and here. And here is a post from Drew Hyprland is a toxic community.

I’m not surprised about this blog post. I argue we need more compositors. More means, more to choose from and being less reliant on the few that are available right now. What if someone does not like Hyprland in example or any of the current available compositors? Having more to choose from is a good thing, not bad. I’m so thankful that Hyprland is not the only one we have. One example is the programming language that the project is written in. Why does it matter? Maybe because people want to contribute or understand the code or want to make changes. In example Qtile is written in Python and its configuration language is in Python too.
