Hyprland is a relatively new name among tiling compositor offerings, but thanks to its impressive features, it is quickly becoming a popular choice among Linux users. If you’re not familiar with it, here’s a brief introduction.

It is a highly customizable, dynamic, lightning-fast tiling Wayland compositor designed to provide a powerful and flexible environment for managing windows and workspaces.

It is also built with performance in mind, resulting in smooth operations, very good performance, and, last but not least, visual appeal to users.

All of these qualities, combined with its avalanche of popularity, have resulted in a well-received message on the Debian developer list, announcing that precompiled Hyprland packages are now added and available to the distribution’s unstable repositories.

Furthermore, the acceptance of Hyprland in Debian can be compared to a wide-open door to a large part of the Linux ecosystem. Being one of the foundations on which today’s Linux world is built, Debian has always been a crucial factor in promoting free software.

Adopting a given one in its repositories means it will become available to millions of users, considering the huge amount of Debian derivatives that use it as their base. It is enough to mention Ubuntu, for example.

    Yeah. Like… I can’t think hyprland offers enough to make it worth promoting. Its like… Yeah Drake put out some tracks than when they show up in my feed I like until I realize its that massive piece of shit. You can’t really have death of the author when the author gains more audience through hype of their output. I’d recommend people interested in hyprland look at river, sway, or dwl instead
