and each closed-source drivers version only works with a single kernel version. It might work OK as long as the drivers and kernel are kept in sync (I think Pop! or Nobara have nVidia specific versions for this reason), but otherwise each kernel upgrade is a risk.
Are you sure this is true? I make no attempt to keep my kennel and driver in sync and have never had any problems at all. I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this
Plus nVidia drivers are basically shit with Wayland and cause a ton of issues.
This is kind of true, but overstating. I use nvidia with Wayland also the time and, apart from some games, it works really well. Many of those issues will be fixed when explicit sync is released.
That all said, is she that AMD is currently best for Linux.
I recently started the process of switching over to wayland and, so far, it's going reasonably well. There are still a few things to get working, but I'm happy with the progress speed....
Does this have any impact on the future viability of Hyprland as a project? Should it affect (on a technical level) whether users should start using Hyprland if they don't already?
I literally installed it for the first time yesterday to take a look, but don't want to get invested in something that may fizzle out...
Everything seems to have worked well - except using 'filter = output' which causes sfwbar to vanish immediately after starting with no obvious error message...
yeah - it does sound a bit odd doesn't it? It's a special place for dockapps and, by default, windows don't maximise over it. Kind of like a panel, but with stamp sized apps in it instead of tiny widgets. Which is why I say I might be able to use the panel instead, but its' not really the same...
I have a stateless and immutable system based on arch images that get built every night. I also have two different images for the same machine: one for general use and one optimised for music production. I just rebooted into the other image and I'm set.
Just a reboot. There's an EFI menu listing all the available images - I keep a couple of old ones around to roll back to in case of problems - and I just select the one I want.
Yeah - this is what I meant. One virtual desktop per physical monitor.
I used to have it on a forked version of Openbox, but then I lost the binary and it doesn’t compile anymore. If just makes much more sense to me and makes window management just a little easier. Especially when apps get confused about which monitor they’re supposed to start on or try to be on both in an unhelpful way.

Regarding The Hyprland & Vaxry Situation ( www.youtube.com )
Just putting this here cause I found it a good overview of a pretty confusing situation I had no prior knowledge about
Trying to get my head around sfwbar configs.
In my recent experiments with Wayland, I find my self still very much trying to decide on a decent panel....
My Initial Experience with Wayland on Arch and Nvidia
I was, until recently, under the impression that it wasn't even worth bothering with wayland if you had an Nvidia GPU - as I do (GTX 1070)....
