    1. Get kicked from freedesktop for fostering a toxic community.
    2. Ditch wlroots for your own compositor.
    3. Shit on other compositors in your spare time.
    4. Tell people they should just be plugging into Hyprland instead of rolling their own compositor.

    Man if I was concerned about sinking the time to make a configuration for the compositor with a bus factor of 1 man-child, and a toxic community; I can’t imagine anybody investing the time to make a compositor is going to want to hitch themselves to that cart.

    The compositor is really solid and makes for a great user experience but I’ll be fucked if every word vaxry writes doesn’t make me want to move to sway or niri.


  • It really depends on what you’re most comfortable with; when you go for such a custom option most of the design decisions are about personal preferences.

    I suggest you draw out some layouts on a piece of paper, adjust them until you feel happy and then plan out how you want the keymap to look. When you’re happy, look for a layout that fits what you want or build your own on KiCAD.

    I bought a kyria from Splitkb, and I’ve been very happy with the design. If I needed another keyboard, it would probably be a very similar layout, but have slightly fewer keys, be low-profile and no oleds.
