I want minimum latency as I play competitive games and am very sensitive to it. Hyprland has hdr support which is a must for me and on paper should support vrr and tearing aswell. With VRR I had occasional issues but something like tearing was impossible to get working for some reason, kde plasma should do both well but I have gotten used to tiling window managers and don’t really want to give that up.

So id like to know about your setup if you have gotten something like tearing to work or other recommendations.

EDIT: I went back to KDE Plasma and was able to confirm that direct scanout and tearing work, i used window rues to force it for specific games, i also use https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite which allows tiling on plasma. Its not as beautiful as hyprland but meets me demands

    I don’t plan on trying it (Wayland is fine with me) but what do you mean about the keyboard shortcuts?

      so as an example say you want to switch workspaces. normally in pretty much ever DE or WM it’s going to be mod+1 or 2 or whatever right? if you have a window on workspace 1 and you want it moved to 2 you’d do mod+shift+2

      with mango it’s ctrl+1, 2, 3 etc to switch workspaces THEN alt+1,2,3 to move windows to them. Or focusing windows is alt+h,j,k,l BUT switching windows suddenly introduces the super+shift key. focusing a different monitor is alt+shift BUT moving windows to another monitor is now super+shift. It introduces a lot of confusion trying to remember all the combinations.

      naturally you can reconfigure all of this to a single mod key and it won’t conflict with anything else thus the reason why the dev introduced 3 different mod keys is head scratching. Also depending on what apps you use you pretty much have to reconfigure the keybinds because there could be conflicts.

        That’s worse than I thought, thanks for the breakdown lol

        Maybe the dev is an OSU player…

          it’s a shame too because it’s a REALLY good WM. it’s very lightweight as it’s based off DWM. It can do what Hyprland and Niri do but at a fraction of the memory usage. It’s just the damn config is a mess.
