I have been having some issues with X/i3 (using i3 as a WM for Plasma), mostly with multiple screen setups (windows getting all screwy when connecting/disconnecting, lots of flickering, etc.), and also with my trackpoint's middle button scrolling randomly going away, and needing to use xinput incantations to fix it. I tried Hyprland with QuickShell, and after some QS-related pains, I just dropped to plain Hyprland. It's been working quite nicely so far. There was a lot of trial and error, and there's still some bits that could use improvement, but overall things just work nicely. The main sticking point for me now is that the screen-sharing and using Flameshot is a bit convoluted, and that the workspaces configuration does not support multiple external monitors (as in, the one in my office, and the one home, it needs some resetting each time I change those, or at least I haven't found the way to configure it properly as I had on i3).

So far, it has been a moderately positive change.
