Describe your issue / feature…
The new 0.53 release of Hyprland says to use start-hyprland instead of invoking Hyprland directly. However, I’ve configured my Hyprland setup to use the uwsm wrapper according to these instructions. Is this still a supported way of running Hyprland, or does running it with start-hyprland replace all the functionality that uwsm provides, like session management, environment variable passing, graceful shutdown, etc.?
