It still reminds me of how it took me about a decade to finally realise the connection between steam (as a gaseous substance), Steam (the platform), valve (as in that rotating thing to release pressure) Valve (the corporation), steampowered (the domain name) and steam-powered (as in a steam engine).
My point is that it had an overworked maintainer who was easily persuaded into giving the project to someone else. I highly doubt it has gotten a solid team behind it now.
It got brought down because it shared a server with another service, which was used by some "Epstein friends" to upload you-know-what illegal material and that's what brought it down.
I don't think Hyprland has to be unique.... but as it stands, it most definitely is.
It isn't. River 0.4.0 will be turning River into a base to build your own window manager, taking it much further than Hyprland ever could, with a custom protocol, etc.
Oh come on! First, you hate on COSMIC for taking away some of the noob user base, now you hate on other compositors for taking some of your other user base.
Why can't you be happy that there are other projects in this space? Why can't you just be happy that people are now more likely to find a project which works for them? Is it because your own project is losing users, now that people are no longer trapped to it, because it's no longer the only good project in the space?
Even Brodie admitted that you're not completely right on many of your takes, so why not focus on what you're good at, aka writing a Wayland compositor?
Edit: It seems that I should have read the article. He talks about things from a different point of view, but if you're looking to write a proper Wayland "window manager", there is only one real choice and it's not Hyprland, it's the upcoming River 0.4.0 which will use a custom protocol, based on the layout managers that River was already made for. Basically the dev, Isaac, is moving as much of the window management into the "layout manager" protocol to turn River into a base for writing your own Window manager.
It's one of the main project releases I'm the most excited about in the Linux space.
Update: I managed to get it. I still haven't even gone through S5, I just had Seasons 5-7 downloaded so I wanted to make sure I have it all. I wasn't the biggest fan of S4 either tbh. So we'll see where things go from here.
Edit: Also, I really appreciate the lack of spoilers!
