to me, this guy is the epitome of "fuck it, I'll do it myself"

Thanks for having me! :) was great talking to ya

Most based dev

This guy isn't toxic he is BASED

Ah, so basically everybody is currently pissing themselves because Vaxry isn't super boring. Perfect drama, I love the Linux community.

Loved watching this pod. It's been a year since tho. I would love to see him again in another pod. With the recent controversies and Arch, Alpine adding hyprland, it's gonna be an interesting video

Thumbs up for the dev of the best WM!

Vaxry‘s explanations and takes are golden! Would watch a devlog. Learned a lot :) Vaxry, keep up the amazing work

This episode was so fun, Varxy is too funny

Please promote Hyprland, all people should know about this wonderful compositor!

hyprland will overtake gnome on the 14th of April 2026

Fully support the monthly hyprland reviews.

It's so weird seeing guy that got me into Minecraft anarchy in a podcast also helping me learn about the wayland stuff. Multitalented king

Bro, this has been the most interesting video so far. So much good stuff.

Thank you man, this is the best I've ever tried, you're cool!

Awesome interview. Thanks

Awesome podcast. Thank you, vaxry. Thanks Brodie. Awesome people. Beatiful hyprland. Love❤

A community you run is a extension of yourself at the end of the day and it is by no means a easy things to do.

Thank you Brodie for this excellent session. As an avid admirer of Hyprland, enjoyed this very much. I want to thank Vaxry for this excellent window manager. He made something so beautiful at such a young age!

lmao'd at the accuracy of his description of wayland PRs

No issues on Hyprland for me, happy to see this video and use Hyprland

Thanks for the mention! Also yeah I tried to write hyprplugin-rs, I gave up, its impossible, the ABI is just too different. I got a rust plugin running, but it would crash the compositor lol. I have an idea for creating a multi language plugin loader written in C++, but I wont try that yet, maybe someday I'll write it?

Mad lads !!!

The most sane linux user

I'm a long time Linux user, coming from Debian with X and Bspwm. Decided to test out Arch with Wayland and Hyprland on my new laptop (Acer) with hybrid GPUs (intel+nvidia), and I'm really surprised how well everything works. No stability issues and excellent application compatbility (I can run all my apps without any issues), also it looks great and perforrms well. Great work @vaxryy !!

Wow, its weird to think that this madlad has been using linux for shorter than me, respect.

What a king

Finally

Yyoooo hyrllannnddd

I was there at the peak of compiz fusion. I miss my cube. With 3D gears inside.

immediately laughed out loud when Vaxry mentioned he started using linux with an Nvidia graphics card and wanted to start on Endeavour..... and here i am running Endeavour on an Nvidia gt 630, while also running hyprand....... lol

nais crossover 🥸

brodie, when you go and give hyprland another shot, give Eww a shot as well

I love hyprland it has the best defaults i barely changed anything and its fantastic i just turned off the anime wallpaper and changed like 1 keybind and made an autostart and etc

Go hyprland!

42:30 The reason this happens is that both Chromium and Firefox use the same graphics code (Skia from Chromium). So it's not surprising it behaves the same way.

Double borders can be good for contrast on noisy wallpapers ✨

Vaxry keep doing what you do, I am using KDE right now but Hyperland looks like it could get used to later down the line.

one issue i have is you cant use Meta + V to make a floating window in the secret workspace you enter with Meta + S but you can make it floating before putting into the secret workspace and it will move around idk if im just stupid and using an old version but idk haha im on nixos stable

Vaxry sama!

Firefox context menus are still broken in gamescope by the way.

I use Hyprland btw

15:23 isn't EWMH a standard?

Hai

2000 hours in neptunia. What a chad

This isn't a Gentoo video.

I was pretty close from going to my main laptop and installing Hyprland, but the second half of the interview... Yikes.

Rewatching it at ⭐ Star (13.2 K )

I am about to buy a second hand 6700 xt for $250 loll

*Migrates to Linux for choice and freedom.* Also: *Installs window manager/compositor with highly-opinionated window placement.*

froggers duide.

when immolo podcast upload!!!

Illusion: "I hope that KDE move to wlroots which would be a good thing because more standardization and more stable wlroots. It would be pretty cool". Reality one year later: detaching wlroots completely from hyprland. Life is change, change is life.

I now appear to have the names Brodie and Vaxry burnt into my tiny screen.

Let's hope the 9b community doesn't harass you

"There are only 2 types of (Linux) people: new Linux users and People who don't like GNOME" Man, this guy is funny

1:08:00 so hyperland is under globohomo's boot, shame(

Hyprland will overtake gnome on the 16th of April 2026

wlroots is at least better documented than pixman 😂

when esl person says shieeet you know that they are based

REWRITE EVERYTHING IN RUST !!!

LGBTQ issues are real. I will gladly admit that many advocates for these issues do not take the right approach and can be annoying, but having a dismissive attitude towards the topic is not the way to make more folks feel welcome in the Linux community. You want more folks to feel welcome because greater diversity makes a group stronger, and greater numbers means more support and potential for improvement. Gender identity doesn't have anything to do with Linux, but that doesn't mean, "fuck you I don't care about your pronouns," it means "oh, you go by those pronouns? Cool, let's get back to the code." I don't say this to call anyone out, but I've grown and changed a lot in the last several years in regards to this topic and I think it's important for the community.

I never understood it but apparently people who are a bit of a dick are More the kind of person people gravitate toward. I myself have been working on being less of a nice guy 👍🏽

The only Linux issue is The Desktop. Qt, GTK, Gnome, KDE, whatever... Inconsistency, weird quirks and hacks, Fedora this, Arch that, NixOS something else.... For the average kid, grandpa or mom... this is the huge issue. They are expecting just Next, Next, Next, Done... and they don't care about the dealing with all that weird garbage under Linux Desktop ecosystem which appears on surface every single day if they use Linux. They want every single application being consistent and stable. They don't give a f*** about Qt, GTK and all the other FOSS quirks. Until this will be solved... Linux desktop will be something something 3% user base and will not attract serious development teams.

Hey, I wanted to ask a question to the interviewer. Is Vaxry real? Is he a person that exist for real as he describes himself, or is he making things up for clicks? Because I've pieced together the backstory of his person from the first 46 minutes of this interview and my bullshit radar is going crazy. Here's a list of facts about Vaxry that aren't consistent with reality, or are extremely unlikely to occur: >he bought a used Radeon 6400 XT for $1000 >when he first started to use Linux, he started using Manjaro and Arch not long after Manjaro failed him >4 months into Linux he moves from KDE to i3, a totally rational and normal thing to do, totally no issues with learning curves and contrasts in ease of use >4 months into Linux he writes his own WM because a well established WM annoys him, instead of complaining about it everywhere like all new Linux converts do >he lives with his parents, which implies he's either a teen or in his early 20s, but his knowledge of Linux, his Hypr project, and everything, implies that he has at least 5 years of experience with Linux, which contradicts him being this young or being this broke to live with parents, a person who has this much Linux experience is definitely earning enough to move away >he's a new guy in town on some Linux forum and everything he says gets a 1000 upvotes, totally not staged when you remember that Linux community is notorious for infighting >some Wayland shill tells him off and is bullied off the platform, wow, did RedHat run out of money on people upvoting him back up or what? this is just unreal, Wayland shills normally always get their way because you can't argue yourself out of Xorg being old as dust and insecure, talking back to a Wayland shill normally gets you banned too >he uses Polish currency to buy the Radeon, which implies he is located in Poland but for some reason his English sounds as if it were native, which yet again, could be likely explained if he wasn't native to Poland, but then again, people whose native language is English are most of the time extremely successfully fended off from moving into Poland by lack of neetbux, lack of copious amounts of child benefits, and lack of grossly exaggerated minimum wages, which makes his origin and the origin of his mastery of English language a complete mystery I don't mean to shoot this guy down, his accomplishments are pretty cool, but these improbabilities and inconsistencies with reality make him come off as either a freak of nature or a mythomaniac. Or both, why not.

Good interview, and true Pronoun having people always ruin it
