I currently configure Hyprland on a laptop that is not used for video editing or excessive YouTube usage or gaming or multimedia.
Interesting, could you tell me what sort of glitches you encounter when you do these in Hyprland? I’m assuming you’re an Nvidia user like me.
Most gaming issues I’ve encountered were solved by simply running all games on Gamescope…which is ironic because gamescope is used for running X programs inside a wayland container but whatevs, if it works it works.
Kdenlive was unusable due to he UI flickering and randomly showing massive black and white bars. It was actually so bad, that it for some reason ruined my configuration and I had to re-setup it under X11 when I switched back.
YouTube video ran noticeably worse than on X11. micro lags and overall worse picture quality.
I also was not able to get OBS working. Despite everything being set up as in the instructions it did not find any screens or windows to record.
They make a few Wayland DWMs

I’m using and comfortable with Wayland, particularly Hyprland, that too on an Nvidia card.
It’s not perfect, but for me it feels way better than X.

And for this, yes, it’s fine.
Except the stupid keyboard thing.

Yep, Nvidia.

I actually did! I managed to get discord screenshare to work too, all in Hyprland.
I actually planned to write a post detailing it out.
