I’m probably not the best source for that, sorry. I’ve heard about this or than on sway but I haven’t really been able to use sway until recently because my desktop has Nvidia. (I have a laptop now)

But I’ve heard Hyperland being compared to awesomewm but with fancy animations and quality of life changes you probably wouldn’t find in any other wayland wm.

There’s better window capture where you can focus on individual apps, there’s the ability to pass hotkeys to x11 apps by adding it to the config, there’s whatever the latest feature wlroots has before it is included in the release, etc…

You might be able to install it along side sway and use all the same software bar the config file. You could probably do foo -c /point/to/different/config in most apps to keep things separate and set up a script to kill xdg-portal-wlroots and start xdg-portal-hyprland. Or you could just use portal-wlroots they are almost one to one minus the screen capture tricks.

The documentation is top notch so it should be easy to get into. If your system has to be rock solid stable I’d be weary because the project moves at a breakneck speed and is largely done by one guy with help but I haven’t had any issues so far. If touchegg supports sway it should support hyprland because they’re both based on wlroots.
