## What it is
hyprlock is a GPU-accelerated, multi-threaded screen locking utility built for the Hyprland Wayland compositor. It uses the ext-session-lock protocol and supports features like blurred screenshot backgrounds, fingerprint authentication via libfprint, and Hyprland-style visual effects.

## Use cases
- lock my screen on wayland with gpu acceleration
- screen locker for hyprland
- lock screen with blurred wallpaper background
- fingerprint unlock on linux wayland
- secure session lock using ext-session-lock protocol
- customizable lock screen with animations and gradients

## When to choose
- you use Hyprland or another Wayland compositor supporting ext-session-lock
- you want a fast, GPU-accelerated lock screen with visual effects
- you need fingerprint authentication on your lock screen

## When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than Wayland
- you need a lock screen for a non-Wayland desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
- you want a minimal locker without GPU/animation dependencies
