Reasons why Hyprland is better than other compositors, e.g. Sway


Reasons why Hyprland is just better

  • Very customizable (IPC / Plugins / Config)
  • Very performant for the amount of eyecandy it brings, smooth like butter
  • Nice visual effects (animations, rounded corners, customizable blur, etc)
  • Not afraid to innovate (and often leads innovation)
  • No wlroots: your features will not be delayed and/or denied due to wlroots' devs opinions
  • Big and growing ecosystem of useful tools, plugins and stuff
  • Massive amount of QoL advantages over others (global binds, window sharing, tearing, etc)
  • No other standalone wayland compositor even comes close to the featureset
  • Endorsed by your favorite Linux influencer (your favorite Linux influencer is vaxry.)
  • Active development, constant updates with fixes and features
  • Works pretty good with Nvidia for a wayland compositor
  • Tons of dotfiles, scripts and configs made by the community
  • Appealing for beginners
  • Written in C++, with an expandable and readable codebase
  • Extensive coverage of everything in the Wiki
  • Community-driven: features are suggested by the community, and unlike sway, some get implemented
  • Stays on the cutting edge of Wayland: you always get the latest features
  • Dynamic tiling and multiple layouts (even more with plugins, including even manual tiling with hy3)
  • Most starred wayland compositor for a reason
