Hyprland is a relatively new name among tiling compositor offerings, but thanks to its impressive features, it is quickly becoming a popular choice among Linux users. If you’re not familiar with it, here’s a brief introduction.

It is a highly customizable, dynamic, lightning-fast tiling Wayland compositor designed to provide a powerful and flexible environment for managing windows and workspaces.

It is also built with performance in mind, resulting in smooth operations, very good performance, and, last but not least, visual appeal to users.

All of these qualities, combined with its avalanche of popularity, have resulted in a well-received message on the Debian developer list, announcing that precompiled Hyprland packages are now added and available to the distribution’s unstable repositories.

Furthermore, the acceptance of Hyprland in Debian can be compared to a wide-open door to a large part of the Linux ecosystem. Being one of the foundations on which today’s Linux world is built, Debian has always been a crucial factor in promoting free software.

Adopting a given one in its repositories means it will become available to millions of users, considering the huge amount of Debian derivatives that use it as their base. It is enough to mention Ubuntu, for example.

The problem is "decent" is subjective and not everyone agrees on what that means exactly. And you simply can't reason with some people. To that end I would say it can actually be extremely difficult or impossible to get some people to conform to your own idea of what's decent.

Some people want to "keep politics out of things" (or whatever you prefer to define their actions/inactions as) without realizing that it's impossible. For example someone might not even want to discuss what is or isn't transphobia, or whether or not that should be allowed, because that itself is political to them, but NOT handling it (or deferring to moderators) might not be seen as political to them, even if others disagree. IMO nobody is "right" or "wrong", they just have a difference in opinion.
