Are there any hard forks or similar to Hyperland that are for Wayland? I was going to try it on my Pi5 (it is my main "messing with random Linux stuff" device that I don't care if I break something), but then I saw people talking about the far-right/fascist stuff and didn't bother. It looked nice when I saw people in random videos running it (wasn't the focus of the videos and just stood-out).

I know there are other well known tiled window managers which I might end up trying since I keep meaning to see how I take to them. The look of Hyperland is nice with some stacked window manager elements if needed (which I imagine other projects also have). I just don't know which TWM projects are "better" (for starting with coming from only using SWM). Some level of aesthetics would be nice but am fine with adding after install.

    I hadn't, but it certainly has some aesthetics that look cool! Will for sure try it out since it the other two commenters seem to like it. Really happy to have a few options to know about so quickly. Thank you!

    Seconding Niri, but also I've seen swayfx setups that have Hyprland-like aesthetics.

    If you don't care about fancy effects, I've been a river user for years and I like it. Nowadays it is just a compositor and the WM is separate, but river-classic (which includes a WM) has a dwm-like tag system, is programmatically configured (ie you speak to the river IPC in any language of your choosing—by default it's a shell script but the WM just executes ~/.config/river/init on startup, so that file can be any executable), and is simple and lightweight. The new 0.4.x release separates the compositor and WM, so you can pick or write your own WM that suits your own workflow/use-case, if that's your thing—it might not be if you don't want customisability and you just want something that makes the decisions for you to a good enough standard.
