Hyprland is now fully independent, dropping wlroots (hyprland.org)

With great pleasure may I announce that our move off of wlroots is now complete and MR 6608 is now merged.

After over 1000 comments on 6608 alone, and over 3 months of the entire process, the rewrite is done.

With it, Hyprland is no longer a wlroots-based Wayland compositor, and instead, a fully independent implementation of the protocol.

Don’t worry though, all your wlroots apps will still work.

Okay, but why?

Beef between creator of hyprland and creator of wlroots. Creator of hyprland is banned from contributing to wlroots so I guess it makes sense to not rely on software you're not allowed to modify (obviously he can fork it but he can't participate in the upstream project)

Hyprland has always been using forked wlroots
