I've been dipping my toes into Hyprland.

I'm a 20+ year X11 junkie, so this is all new territory.

I wasn't planning on doing this so soon, but the dual-monitor situation with Xorg and AMD/NVIDIA hybrid graphics is... clunky. It works, but only as long as I don't try to modify the monitors after they have been set. I get one shot to use xrandr when I log in. If I run it a second time... POOF... there goes Xorg.

I was curious about how it would work on Hyprland, and... it just worked! Both monitors came right up, and I could rotate one of them without anything crashing.

Yes, Hyprland is a "Wayland compositor" so it uses the Wayland protocol.

There are various (and very few) implementations of the Wayland protocol. GNOME's implementation is Mutter, and Hyprland *was* based on wlroots; Hyprland is now migrating to their own Wayland implementation.
