I stopped following it all a few years back, but basically, hyprland community was one of the most toxic places on the internet for a while. And the official response was that they didn't want to do anything about it. There was later a bit of attempt to clean things up, but by that point I had already lost interest.

A quote from Vaxry on his own blog about his stance of the community being ruined by "inclusive activists"

if I run a discord server around cultivating tomatoes, I should not exclude people based on their political beliefs, unless they use my discord server to spread those views. which means even if they are literally adolf hitler, I shouldn't care, as long as they don't post about gassing people on my server

And then further goes on to compare LGBT issues with geopolitics:

It's important to note that there are many people who disagree on topics like religion, economic systems, LGBT issues, geopolitics, and other. For whatever reasons they may, we still should not ostracize them as long as they can interact with the FOSS community in a respectful manner, without arguing about those issues in places not meant for such discussions.

"I'd be ok with having Hitler around (because separate the art and the artist), but also, LGBT issues are divisive, so we don't want things like pronouns showing up around here."

Vaxry strikes me as the type of person who would start off actually neutral, and when asked to not make offensive comments, would double down on his right to make offensive comments even if he doesn't believe in them, until the only people in the community are people who make those offensive comments earnestly.

So overall, not a community/project I would personally want to be involved in. Too much drama, and even if it's not a "nazi" project, it markets itself as being welcoming of hitler.

I've been daily driving niri on my gaming PC for about as long as you've been away. The only problem I have now and then is games will run in tiled mode, while the game itself is fullscreen, so I'm only seeing the left half of the game. Mod+Shift+F has always fixed it so far, and it's rare enough that I haven't looked into making a window rule. I don't use Steam but I'm not sure that matters.

Havent done much gaming on it so I wouldn't know, but I hope so. Would probably be a deal breaker

Using Niri on CachyOS with a RTX50 series GPU (which seems to have the most issues with latest games/drivers). I jump between dozens of games and only had issues with 3 so far:

• Monster Hunter Wilds (was broken for a couple months earlier in the year, just a driver issue fixed by update)
• Ghost of Tsushima (again broken by a single driver update -- haven't tried again cause fuck Sony)
• Enshrouded (single driver update once again, fixed within a week)

So in my experience, yeah Niri is great for games. Especially having things fake-fullscreen while multitasking, jumping around between browser, Discord, etc

*Edit Meant to add in contrast, Subnautica 2 launch day went perfectly, as did Windrose... So even new/early access seems absolutely fine.
