A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
Breaking changes
- window/layer rule regexes now require a full match (not any match) to trigger.
- cursor:dumb_copy is gone in favor of cursor:use_cpu_buffer. This should allow no-downsides Nvidia hardware cursors. Please note it’s experimental.

I wonder if i3 is more, just because it’s been around forever, but I could certainly see Hyprland as having the most growth among standalone options.
I would think i3 is slowly dying because sway is it’s Wayland replacement. But wrong, i3 has a stable fanbase.
