Might be the reason I switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE. While it solves problems for some, it's not ready for others. One of the few (legit) reasons to use Linux is the dynamic tiling window managers. -Wayland (atm) takes away that reason.
- Hyprland is also a Wayland tiling WM/Compositor.
  
  AFAIK, it just came out of 'early development', and I haven't seen any publicity on it since. It's also only supported by a few distros. -Fedora isn't one, and considering it's one of the distros that's pushing hard on Wayland.
- Is Sway not an option?
  
  Sway isn't dynamic. Sway is for idiots that try to do everything 'new user-friendly' when it's barely any easier (if at all) than much better options.
