From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor

Breaking changes

window/layer rule regexes now require a full match (not any match) to trigger.
cursor:dumb_copy is gone in favor of cursor:use_cpu_buffer. This should allow no-downsides Nvidia hardware cursors. Please note it's experimental.

I'm amazed by the amount of work being done by Hyprland devs. I remember how they were just starting not that long ago, and now it's (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.

...now it's (probably) the most popular Wayland window manager.

KWin and Mutter probably hold that title and likely will for many years to come. There would have to be a mass exodus or software switch in Plasma and Gnome before Hyprland could match their market share.

Of course, I was comparing it to other "standalone" window managers, not the ones used by GNOME/KDE, since the userbase will be obviously much higher for the desktop environments.
