@davidrevoy tbh Hyprland is actually really cool, the code from what i know is dogshit, the developer is dogshit, some of the design decisions being take are dogshit, but the end user result is astonishingly good to the point that it makes me sad that I can't morally justify using it given I know too much about how bad it is.

Hyprland is by all metrics offering an incredibly polished, endlessly customizable, extremely high quality end user experience that has a gigantic community offering plugins for nearly everything a user might want to do and also has cemented itself as an incredible DE that allows it to have effectively first-party support from major distros.

That last bit and the fact that all of the shitstirring is happening within internal channels, personal blogs etc allows Hyprland to keep marketing itself on the objective quality of the end result without users ever knowing that the dev is a fucking neonazi.

I would wager the people who know are a miniscule percentage of the userbase, even including past users that stopped using it, the amount of people that left because one time some unique Steam games broke on Hyprland because of code that the maintainers refused to fix is by itself outweighing the amount of people who are aware of the maintainership's actual political alignment, regardless if they care or not.
