    Hyprland is much better now, you should give it another shot!

      Maybe, when I get a amd gpu. For now, I am very satisfied with my dwm setup. Dwm has been around for longer and just works, while hyprland had a lot of issuses. I had to do a bunch of stuff to stop flickering, get obs to work, get discord screenshare to work, and also my cursor theme would just stop working when there was update sometimes. On Xorg, I didn't face any of these issues, so I'm going to stick with X for now. Would definitely use hyprland if I switched back to wayland.

      When did you use hyprland with an nvidia gpu? I'm on hyprland with nvidia right now and it works totally fine after going through the wiki's fixes and switching from a more obscure distro to one that has more documentation (void to arch). Support for nvidia on wayland has improved so much just these past few months and it's improving constantly.

      Also, after u made this comment nvidia announced they are going to opensource their kernel drivers in the future for RTX 20- series and newer gpus. All things considered, the experience is quite good and it seems like it will keep getting better over the next few months and years

      I love hyprland but after using it for a month and encountered quite a handful of bugs, I switched back to bspwm. Maybe I'll give it a try again next next year but man, I really missed hyprlock 😅 It's the most customizable lockscreen out there IMO.

    at one point you talked about wayland being buggy on hyprland, and i saw that you had an nvidia card and i wanted to ask, what time did you try it? most of the things you mentioned have gotten fixed (not saying its perfect, still alot of issues like explicit sync, electron apps, ect)
    edit: running hyprland at commit 62eadad on a 3060 ti rn
    sidenote: how do things like bspwm or riverwm compare to dwm?

    • @maxhudotdev
      @maxhudotdev  6 месяцев назад +3

      Hmmm. I might give a hyprland another try if its gotten better but I’m pretty happy with my dwm setup for now. I haven’t tried bspwm or river so I can’t compare but river looks like a pretty interesting. But if I switched back to wayland I would probably just use hyprland

    I am having issues with recording my screen using OBS it drop frames alot doesn't matter if it's Wayland or X11 it's just something I unable to figure our
    my specs : i5 11400H
    16 gb ddr4 3200mhz
    rtx 3050 laptop
    tried on both iGpu and and my RTX one as well it drops anyway, but the thing is it's only drops when I capture WHOLE screen, not when I try to capture particular window .

      Have you tried using Xorg? I've tried Xorg and X11 and never had that issue. Like he said, try switching the bitrate lower or maybe try using a different window manager

      yes. I heard theres a wayland port of dwm called dwl, but I’m gonna stay away from wayland for now because it’s a little too buggy for me and not all patches for dwm have been ported to dwl

      @maxhudotdev  6 месяцев назад +2

      I feel like as I try out more programs, I started liking simpler programs more and dwm fits that description.
      Initially I thought dwm was only for old boomers, but recently I started liking it because it just works and I can add all the features I want like adjustable gaps, show hide bar, and also how quick it is to setup on a new machine.

      I get what you mean. But once you patch it once, you don't really need to patch it again since you can just keep your own fork of dwm and clone that
