First time using hyprland with cachyos: wow it’s so productive, I love it!
After one month I log in after a yay and everything is broken. I waste a full day adapting the config from 0.44 to 0.45. Wow that was worth, I love it.
Another month passes, and again it’s broken to 0.50
I just gave up
Can’t they just put a discontinuation warning for a couple releases to let people adapt their config instead of suddenly having the surprise of booting to a broken wm?
welcome to life as an AwesomeWM user. After a normal system upgrade – oh look my Lua version is incompatible with the libraries I need, guess I need to build them from scratch and tell my WM to use them
it’s not really broken-broken to be unusable, just all the window management rules syntax that changed suddenly and you need to read 24 pages of documentation to guess what’s changed and adapt the config.
honestly, after dealing with this 3 times in 3 months, i am no longer interested in this wm.
It’s like if your friend rearranges your living room for pure fun when you come back tired from work. Funny prank done once in a lifetime, remove from existence the third time.
I don’t want to fault you, I just want to point out that Hyprland is in version 0.x. It’s essentially in development. Expecting software in alpha phase to be backwards compatible is a bit unrealistic :) If you enjoyed it that much, come back to it in a few years once it comes out of development phase (if ever…)

Maybe try an atomic distro? It’ll still break but you can roll back and deal with it later.
