Hyprland is now fully independent!

Wow! Just like how I moved away from Hyprland. :)

i was here for systemd round 2

aiaiaia wasn't fully aware didn't really care, because I don't need #eyecandy but this seems like problem: https://blog.vaxry.net/resource/articleFDO/RHMails.pdf Make up your own mind, folks.

Watching the discussion here I finally get how it feels like to be a centrist. And it feels dirty.

Anyway, good for them, or whatever. Hyprland was a'ight when I tested it, even if it ain't my thing. Still hoping for a Wayland Compositor that gives an XFCE-type experience (that is to say, UX without Gnome's 'opinionated' weirdness, and without all the fancy effects that Plasma has. Relatively lighter, also looks a bit retro)

In other words, Vaxry is so unwilling to compromise or learn from others that he would rather isolate his project from the broader FOSS community. That says a lot about him and the people who support him, especially since this conflict with freedesktop.org started over Vaxry condoning hateful trolling of trans people within the Hyprland community.

This is a problem for me as a Hyprland user because if I share some rice I made or make suggestions for other users, I'm leading people into a community that may be actively hateful towards them. It utterly extinguishes any enthusiasm I have for the project. I like the software but I'd rather be part of a project and a community that I can feel good and excited about. Maybe time to find a new tiling Wayland compositor.

Fuck Hyprland, its developers, and its asshole community. Context: https://drewdevault.com/2024/04/09/2024-04-09-FDO-conduct-enforcement.html

Ngl this will blow over in like 2 weeks, FOSS drama has the lifespan of a moth

People keep saying this happened only because vaxry got banned from the FDO, completely forgetting the fact that hyprland has used their own modified fork of wlroots for ages now. They've wanted to get away from wlroots even before this whole fiasco, it really just tipped the needle for them to finally pull the trigger.

Mind you also, the ban in no way prevents hyprland from using wlroots still. The only thing the ban did was prevent vaxry from contributing to wlroots upstream, which is damn unfortunate if you ask me.

Well done to Vaxry and co for achieving such a feat! I still think it's completely pointless but at least it will mean that it can now be more easily packaged for other distros, as it avoids the issue with using tagged wlroots.

Does this have something to do with the author being banned from freedesktop?

What would be the advantages of using this over, say i3? (Does it summarize to X vs Wayland)

Imagine having to rebase your entire project because you're a piece of shit.

I use Mutter

But why?

For everyone shitting about Vaxry, I recommend reading both sides of the equation, not only FDO/Drew's.

Seems like a very bad decision

I lost some faith in humanity upon reading that such drama over attitude that I would consider juvenile at best and mildly inappropriate at worst is still sparking debate.

I regained some faith in humanity upon reading many people trying to put things into perspective - this guy is not evil incarnate.

Also - and this is catered to American audiences - do not forget that this guy is from Poland. American left-wing values do not stretch all over the world.

Neat

I've got a track for that:

Wow. Too bad people can't get past themselves and grow together over preferring to hold on to a situation to be enraged about forever. Sorry no apologies accepted ever. I've established a pattern as victim, jury, and judge and my position is rational and not emotional and I will sound off to squash the bigotry as the only way to defeat it is to never move past it.

It's free software guys, who gives a fuck about personalities🥱? GFY with pronouns, anger issues, egoistic management..etc

It's the fucking code that determines which makes better software.💪

Hyprland looks cool af🔥, but having a fork of wlroots tied to a wm is not cool.🙄

Very nice, this comes with a lot of advantages for Hyprland, and I wholeheartedly congratulate Vaxry on separating from the rubbish that is FDO's management.
