yes but the problem is having to spend time to fix it in the first place. On a more stable de/compositor like Plasma or Sway, you won’t have these problems
I mean, the top level comment refers to the title and not things breaking in general where OP complained about needing to troubleshoot right now before being able to be productive. Being able to postpone troubleshooting to when you can afford it is a massive benefit exactly for this reason where you need to get things done now or just want to do something else in the moment. For the same reason my root is on a ZFS pool with 2-way mirrored vdevs and I have (non-zfs) mirrored boot set up as well. No matter which of my drives fails I can take care of it later without any impact on my productivity or loss of data. I never used hyperland but heard of it stability issues ever so vaguely and while choosing different window manager (because that’s what it is to ppl) may have solved this specific issue at the cost of sacrificing preferences the expectation for your system to never break is absurd. Things will always break at some point and it can come from any direction. Being able to hande the breakage gracefully is the key part.
Nobody expects things to never break, but stability is a spectrum and clearly hyprland is less stable than the average. That’s the main conclusion I got from the post at least. And less stability means more time needed to fix. Nothing you can do about that aside from switching to a different DE
You can rollback and take care of it later when you have time spare.
