    I’ve been tinkering with it lately and really like it as a shiny alternative. Might switch to my primary if I can get some real tinker time. Having a young family makes it hard to have hobbies!

      Definitely a friendlier and more intuitive option for newcomers than something like sway. I’ve been thinking about sway though because static layouts would play nicer with my ultra wide.

      Dynamic tilers don’t really consider evenly spitting apps into thirds or a window automatically taking three fifths while stacking two others or combinations of the two.

      Space is definitely a premium on a 2560x1080 screen.

        Ooh, I moved to hyprland a few months ago and fell in love, but sway will give me static layouts? My singular gripe with hyprland is I want to keep my RDP app fixed to a size and never resized for anything, because when that window resizes inadvertently, I have to MFA half a dozen connections. I mostly like the dynamic tiling, but I’d like to fix one window on one workspace and never have it resize.

          Have you tried window rules to make RDP automatically spawn onto a different workspace? Or you can set it to float and keep aspect ratio with window rules and maybe with minimum size so it doesn’t get too small.

          I haven’t played with pseudo tiling, by default it’s super+p I think it keeps aspect ratio and size but I haven’t messed with it that much. If pseudo works you can set that as a window rules probably with size.

          I think it’s called manual wm, my bad. I think there’s a way to define a layout for arranging the windows in a certain way. Regardless you tell it to either vertically or horizontally split the currently focused window when you spawn a new window.

          There might even be a way to define how a dynamic wm extension arranged windows by creating a pattern or set of rules. When I have more free time I want to play with it on my laptop because they just don’t want to bother with Nvidia like Hyperland has.

          Edit: now I wanna play with window rules and find a solution to your RDP problem.
