    It is not getting new features anymore. Just because the distro is packaging it doesn’t mean it’s not dead.

    I heard Sway is very similar to i3. But I’m partial to hyprland myself

      I’ll say that while it still has features that Wayland doesn’t it’s not dead, it doesn’t get updates yes but it still used by a lot of people for the fact that Wayland just doesn’t support some stuff that x11 does. Great example I have is TeamViewer and Nvidia+KDE

        You made exactly the point I was trying to make.

        I guess “dead” is a matter of definition in this case. 🙂

      I love me some hyprland, it’s minimal enough to run on my 4gb ram foldable laptop with the same animations I have on my main laptop & desktop.

      Wayland x Nvidia aside (on my laptop) it’s the perfect minimal environment for me.
