This is the only DE/WM I have ever heard of having "premium" features. I don't have a problem with the developers trying to bring in some funding but this is bizarre.

I predict there is around a 0% chance that someone won't fork hyprland and implement the premium features themselves. Especially in this scene.



I'm going to sub because the lead dev is a college kid who's poured his heart and soul into this thing I use every day. It's really just a donation and I think it's good of him to try to monetize somehow.


And that's fine. The people who would use such a fork were never going to pay anyways.


I doubt anyone wants to touch/maintain hyprland. Niri and sway? Much more likely to see outside contributions IMO.


AFAIR, Aston Shell (for Windows) had free/premium editions
