yeah, that's a good call. Might be an idea to try sway anyway
https://pkgstats.archlinux.de/compare/packages/hyprland,sway,niri
probably simpler and more stable?
I installed niri with Dank Material Shell, then it complained about needing a newer Quickshell for "idle detect => suspend", so I upgraded to qs-git, and the machine started leaking so much memory, it's all over my floor now... 😂

@oschonrock@mastodon.social Oh yeah, sway is extremely stable and light on resources, but it lacks some eyecandy (rounded corners, window animations, etc.). If that tradeoff is worth it for you I'd definitely recommend it. Its config is compatible with that of i3 (except for X11 specific options), so there are plenty of resources about it online too. Never used quickshell but it should work fine with sway (according to a brief online search).
