I personally like combining both on desktop. Scrolling for web and occasional file browser or terminal, tiling for coding and ricing, tiling for messaging apps, etc. It depends on the need. That's why I went with MangoWC. I keep niri for my laptop though (where I also don't want blur anyway).

I agree and I tried hyprlock, but the issue is it doesn't fork from the calling tty, therefore when I use it as a pre-hook for suspend it just leaves the laptop open and then I have to unlock it and then the laptop goes to sleep.

gtklock and swaylock both support detaching from tty. I used gtklock but it had failures with multiple monitors on occasion, so I switched back to swaylock.

I actually found it is included with fastfetch:
