I really wanted to like hyprland so much. Tiling window managers are just too clunky for me.

If you want to try you also can use hyprland as a stacking window compositor it is really clean. The one thing I would say is clunky is the configuration around hyprland xdg-desktop-portals are just a mess

How difficult was it getting hyperland up and running? I’d be interested in trying it, but the faq’s alone scare me away lol.

Easier than I thought it was going to be, but I had a ton of experience with various window managers under Xorg. The difference comes in swapping out certain tools for their wayland counterparts. Example using wofi or fuzzel, instead of rofi, imv, instead of feh, grim, instead of scrot, swaybg or hyprpaper, instead of nitrogen, mako, instead of dunst. The alternatives are there, you just have to make the necessary small adjustments.

If you want to try Hyprland check out this guy’s video and config files. You can get a working and usable setup very easily.

For me, Hyprland, and wayland are the way forward. There’s no going back to X11. Grins

Indeed, and it runs great on this old machine. I recently made the switch to Wayland from X11 wms like spectrwm and herbstluftwm. The difference is like that old movie, “The Wizard of OZ”, where everything goes from being in B&W, to suddenly technocolor. ;-P
