look like it or not (and trust me, I don’t) unfortunately Hyprland is the best (while buggy best) WM for Wayland. And trust me, I’ve tried them all. The majority of the things just work right out of the box with hyprland. your next best option is Sway but if you’re on Nvidia then you’re essentially on your own as far as official support goes. Everything else? nothing comes close. It’s not like x11 WMs where you have plenty of good and working options, it’s just not there for wayland. sooooo everyone uses Hyprland.

The ease of use, the fact a good majority of things just work, and the vast amount of documentation/support for Hyprland puts it miles ahead of any competition. And considering the douchnozzle of a dev behind it, that sucks.

River is fine, but there’s some things on river that just won’t work. for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get xfreerdp to work on River and their multimonitor implementation is bleh. Sway is fine but like I said if you have Nvidia then they don’t like you. Niri is frustrating. and the rest are just meh. IF Cagebreak decided to get off their high horse and actually implement wlroots/layer than THAT would be the go to WM but that’s not going to happen. So Unfortunately we’re left with hyprland for now until something like COSMIC matures OR implements as much customization as hyprland which I doubt will happen.

The wayland landscape for WMs/Compositors absolutely sucks. Sorry but that’s just my personal honest opinion. And because of how my main laptop is setup I HAVE to use wayland so please if someone has a better tiling option than Hyprland that isn’t Sway then I’m all ears.
