Is Hyperland the thing that finally convinces hacker types that Wayland is the future? A Wayland compositor that gives you Xorg like scripting via a UNIX control socket, easy to set up, and is much much less opinionated than GNOME.

So many of the criticisms of Wayland around the internet end up being things that Mutter doesn't let you control directly.

Hyperland is one part (it's amazing), but the other is a distro embracing the keyboard 100% and not treating it as an option where I need to think about how to set it up.

The only problem I have is that I bought a new beelink Pro9, put Omarchy on it and Hyperland locks up every day, and I don't know if it’s only me or not.

It's less a Wayland story imo and more a tiling WM story.

		Right! Which is my point. It's finally a "killer app." It's not a situation where the Wayland thing is technically better but to a user is essentially the same except new $limitations. Now there's a new cool trendy thing that happens to run on Wayland. Folks will want to make the switch to get the new shiny.
