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.

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.
Popularity give them followers, followers give them money
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.
Is there like a word that stands for, "I can't be perfect so I gave up trying to be better"?
I misread this as "made me a transphobe"
im waiting on my distro probably or i could be doing just fine on experimental Wayland
What's experimental Wayland?
Probably some desktop that only now started to adopt Wayland in an experimental state because the maintainers thought that playing "wait and see" for way too many years was a great idea.
I was building a kiosk for my home assistant with my Raspberry Pi. It was very complicated to set up a cage compositor, set up XWayland, setup Chromium Wayland flags, libinput rules, and the touchscreen mapping still doesn’t work… am I missing something here? For X11 everything just works right out of the box…
… am I missing something here?
X11.
Unless you have a real reason not to use X11, why not just use X11?
Sounds like you're missing a DE
I want a lightweight kiosk without any DE, and I think a cage would work just fine. Maybe I should use Sway to open a single maximum window instead? It seems more bloated than using xinit with a Chromium window, which defeats the entire purpose…
I just wish the lead person wasn't you know... Only reason I'm on KDE.
Why not Sway?
I absolutely love sway. It's everything I need, and nothing I don't. Just works for me
