The official site of Hyprland, a tiling Wayland compositor for Linux, with release announcements and news.
Commenters describe it as a tiling compositor, not an X11 window manager, and a Sway competitor. They find news of dropping wlroots interesting.
I've been an X11 holdout since forever, but after nvidia proprietary drivers broke for the millionth time on a system upgrade, I switched over to Nouveau and the "Hyprland" tiling compositor on Wayland. It's the only setup that felt worth the upgrade to me. Setup was easy, animations are very slick (scroll down on the link below for a sample), and I've had no bugs or quirks. Highly recommend checking it out if you're bored or curious.

If you go to the homepage: https://hyprland.org/
It says "Tiling Compositor" as its first words. That's what it is.
It's not a "window manager" since that's an X11 term, and this is a Wayland Compositor, not an X11 Window Manager.
I feel like the landing page explains very clearly what it is for the target audience, which is someone who uses wayland and knows what a tiling compositor is.
> If you’re someone who grew up on Macs there’s almost nothing in the Linux desktop space that tries to replicate that set of patterns… it’s all Win9X-type taskbar setups, mobile-type setups (GNOME, Pantheon), old niche *nix setups (e.g. WindowMaker), and of course minimal tiling WMs. There’s no clones of Mac OS of any flavor.
Have you seen https://hyprland.org?
I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.
It seems they are no longer using wlroots. This is news to me. This makes it something more than a slightly polished sway reimplementation and maybe worth taking a look at.

The regular popos shell is built on top of gnome, but I believe COSMIC is a brand new DE built with rust/js.
