Great. If they can make some money out of this, why not?
I wonder what happens if they lock down some features as premium-only. The competition is tight in this space and there are tons of alternatives to Hyprland, like Sway, River, etc. Monetizing open-source code sounds like a dangerous path...
- nextos 1y agoThere's not a lot of competition yet. Sway is good, but lots of fantastic WMs with great UIs are still stuck in X. Needing a massive re-write doesn't help. My personal favorites (XMonad, StumpWM, and EXWM) have all tried but failed to get ported to Wayland.

- arguflow 1y agoYeah I'm in the element chat of that. They are still pretty early.
- yencabulator 1y agoNiri is in the exact same style of smoothly animated tiled columns sliding around, and it's much more pleasant as a community/project. And if you care, it's in Rust not C++. https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri
