I'm also a heavy user of an X-only window manager (xmonad). Learning about this makes me wonder if I should start learning how to work with another window manager so I'm not caught off guard when something stops working.
- _emacsomancer_ 7y agoI'm really attached to stumpwm, which is also X-only. We have been hearing reports of the pending death of X for at least the past decade, so I'm never certain how seriously to take them, but I've kept an eye on what looks like the closest thing to a wayland implementation of stumpwm (https://github.com/malcolmstill/ulubis https://github.com/malcolmstill/ulubis).
- FreeFull 7y agoYou could try to transition to the sway wayland compositor (which is largely compatible with i3wm) or maybe to https://github.com/letoram/arcan https://github.com/letoram/arcan which is a lot more programmable than sway
- bestham 7y agoXMonad is (pardon the phun) very high level and a switch to any other window system should be trivial.
- mimimi31 7y agoDo you know about Waymonad? It's supposedly Xmonad for Wayland and uses wlroots like sway.
- lkirk 7y agoI've heard of it, not sure how mature it is these days. Maybe I'll give it another look
