Any advantages over Sway, other than look and feel?
- crawl_soever 4y agoIt uses dynamic tiling rather than static tiling meaning more versatility how specific desktops get arranged such as bsp, tree, or even custom arrangements
- Izkata 4y agoI thought Sway was based on i3, which is an arbitrary-width tree that can have different display modes per container node in the tree. Hyperland's wiki only lists "Dwindle" and "Master" layouts, which from the description are strictly less versatile than i3 (and Sway?) in exchange for convenience if those layouts are what you want. Does it even have something as flexible as i3? (and Sway?)
- falkaer 4y agoI use the dwindle layout which is similar to bspwm in automatic splitting mode. One advantage is you can drag and drop windows into other nodes, which will be split appropriately, it's surprisingly neat when you have a lot of stuff open. It's easiest to get a feel for the differences by just trying it out or watching some videos of it on r/unixporn
- ccakes 4y agoI'm just giving this a try and with xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland (their fork of the wlr portal) I get perfect screensharing in Google Meet using pure Wayland. That alone is interesting enough to get me to look at switching..
- jpeeler 4y agoPerfect screensharing meaning you can select individual windows to share as well as the entire screen(s)?
- ccakes 4y agoCorrect - without XWayland
- kaba0 4y agoThat works on most wayland compositors nowadays for quite some time now.
- ccakes 4y agoI've only ever been able to share XWayland windows - using Chrome under sway
