Hyprland is an independent, dynamic tiling Wayland compositor for Linux written in C++, featuring extensive animations, blur, and visual effects without sacrificing performance. It is highly customizable with live-reloading configs, multiple tiling layouts, socket-based IPC, and a powerful built-in plugin system.
Use cases
- dynamic tiling window manager for Wayland on Linux
- compositor with smooth animations and blur effects
- customize my Linux desktop with a riced aesthetic
- replace X11 window manager with a Wayland compositor
- extend my desktop with plugins and custom layouts
- scratchpads and window groups for keyboard-driven workflow
- lightweight compositor with tearing support for gaming
When to choose
- you want a visually polished, animated tiling Wayland compositor
- you need deep customization, live config reload, and plugin support
- you want an independent compositor not built on wlroots or other bases
- you use Linux (especially Arch/Fedora/NixOS) and want a modern Wayland desktop
When to avoid
- you need a full desktop environment out of the box with no configuration
- you rely on an Nvidia setup without tolerance for extra configuration effort
- you need a compositor for non-Linux platforms like Windows or macOS
- you prefer a minimal, no-eyecandy static tiling setup
