    Hyprland’s lead developer is very toxic, and attempting to interact with them on their discord is a recipe for a bad time.

      Is there anything other than hyprland that has special workspaces like it does? I used to use it until I found out about everything with the developer and that’s the feature I miss the most

        KDE calls them Activities I believe, And you can set up what windows go where

          Plasma’s activities are nothing like special workspaces, they’re even further away from special workspaces than the normal plasma workspaces are. Special workspaces overlay over top of the actual workspace you’re currently using and can be moved between monitors and opened and closed independently of normal workspaces.

            Closest thing I can think of would be the tags system from DWM iirc or AwesomeWM or on Wayland RiverWM. They can be used like traditional workspaces but you can have a number of workspaces (tags) active at once. However, they are more merged and tiled together instead of overlayed on top which sounds like what the special workspace would do. At the time I used AwesomeWM I never really used the tags system to it’s full potential and only used it like traditional workspaces.

          Wow, I understand that the issue tracker isn’t the right place to have posted that but I still can’t believe so many users sided with vaxry over the nazi thing
