  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Sway...

    I guess it's boring but it's never broken on me in the 5ish years I've been using it since switching from i3.

    I read all this hype about hyprland but sway does what I want and need as a tiling window manager, and simply see no need to even try hyprland.

    I saw some cool features I'm kinda missing in river (especially the wide range of compatible tools and stability, performance) and I really want to like it.

    I'd actually bother setting it up if it had dynamic (master slave) layouts. But I can't for the love of god find out if it exists or if it's just a manual tiler. Does it?

    Hyprland has several practical features that Sway does not have. I have used both extensively and I stayed at Hyprland because of the following:

    • DynamicBSP layout
    • Moving windows without changing layout structure is easy
    • Special workspaces(scratch pads)
      • They can be toggled
      • One can launch apps when opened empty
      • They can automatically close when the last window closes.

    Things Sway has that Hyprland does not:

    • Closing all windows contained in workspace
    • Moving all windows from one workspace to another

    I have thought coming back to Sway because of the performance and because of Hyprland's the silly default wallpapers and splash screens, but those features hold me back.
