jacekpoz@josh another thing, which I'm not sure if it's because wayland's simpler architecture or for other non technical reason - I just haven't seen anything even comparable to Hyprland (https://hyprland.org/) on X11
@jacekpoz Ooh, that is pretty.
@josh it can get **very** pretty after some time spent on configuring it, here's one of my favorite examples https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland
@jacekpoz Just for clarity, the software description says Hyprland is a compositor, but is it actually its own window manager as well? Or is it best used atop a bespoke WM like Fluxbox or Herbstluft? The screenshots seem to imply the former, but my experience with compositors has typically been the latter.
@josh
tl;dr X11 window manager <=> wayland compositor
in X11 you've got the x display server (xorg), your window manager (awesome, dwm, i3, ...) and optionally your compositor (one of the 20 million picom forks)
in wayland, what you'd traditionally call a window manager actually is a display server, a window manager and a compositor in one process, and everyone calls it a compositor
@jacekpoz Beautiful. Okay, going to give it a whirl. Thank you!
