A "Trade Offer" meme.  The background shows a man in a suit sitting in a room lit with purple lights, holding his hands together in a stereotypical "business deal" pose. Across the top is a red banner reading "TRADE OFFER".  On the left, under the text "i receive:", there is a graph titled "Window Manager statistics" showing the rapid growth of Hyprland inside the Arch userbase.  On the right, under the text "you receive:", there is a screenshot of multiple Hyprland configuration errors.  Vaxry's Profile picture (An anime-style portrait of a blond character) is placed over the man's face.

Hyprland has several practical features that Sway does not have. I have used both extensively and I stayed at Hyprland because of the following:

  • DynamicBSP layout
  • Moving windows without changing layout structure is easy
  • Special workspaces(scratch pads)
    • They can be toggled
    • One can launch apps when opened empty
    • They can automatically close when the last window closes.

Things Sway has that Hyprland does not:

  • Closing all windows contained in workspace
  • Moving all windows from one workspace to another

I have thought coming back to Sway because of the performance and because of Hyprland's the silly default wallpapers and splash screens, but those features hold me back.

    With lua you can get the lacking features too.

    I looked at the documentation and I'm not sure how to do it, do you have a example to target windows in the current workspace? I would really appreciate that.
