If ypu have no idea you probably dont want it tough

That assumes that everyone who wants your product already knows about it, which is true of zero products.

When the core of the "product" is support, it feels quite safe to say that if you don't know what hyprland is you'd probably won't be interested in hyprland support.

Agreed, but for this particular product, the number is probably a lot closer to zero than average.

I miss simple Windows-like experience in Linux. I fondly remember GNOME 2 days. It was the best Linux experience I've ever had. Task bar with open window buttons and workspace switches. Icon tray. Start menu. It just worked. These days it's either GNOME with its weird approach to UI, KDE with infinite number of settings that put me into depression the moment I open their control panel or those weird tiled WMs which I have zero interest in, because I almost never split my screen, all my windows are maximised 99% of time.

It's surprising to me that attractive, GPU-accelerated window compositing is not a 100% solved problem in the Linux ecosystem. I'm assuming I'm missing some huge technical challenge. Does anyone have the ELI5 on this?

It really is a solved problem. This is just one window manager out of tens that is trying a new method for monetising (or sustaining) the project. I don't think there's much to learn from it about any technical challenges.

It's a tiling window manager for a few Linux distros.

Arch, not Ubuntu.

It is weird, this is their main website: https://hypr.land/ Which has a demo. This website seems to only be for the account / payments.

This landing page also fails to properly describe anything I understand.

Then that's honestly not on them.

I've been using hyprland for about 6 months now, it's undeniably performant, buttery-smooth even but there are still a lot of paper cuts there - I have a feeling this will piss quite a few people off given the temperament in the Linux community for subscription-based software; also feel like it's not really the smartest thing to do if good alternatives already exist for what you're building (sway is not far off in qu…

You mean it is better or worse in your experience?
