Yay for wlroots based Wayland compositors! Besides the tiling Sway there's also the stacking Wayfire[0] that is from the same family, but modeled after Compiz (blur, desktop cube and good old wobbly windows are all there) and highly configurable. I use it with Waybar[1], wf-dock[2], Sirula[3] as a launcher and a bunch of other small tools like Gammastep[4] (fork of Redshift) for white balance adjustment, grim & slurp [5] for screenshots and mako[6] for notifications. [7] It's a very DIY-y experience, but it's meant to be (if you want something pre-configured you can barely change try Gnome). The combination of getting it just right and the Ikea effect makes for a pretty rewarding result (I also maintain a list of the available desktop tools you can use when on a wlroots based compositor for your DIY needs [8]). The vision for the future is pre-configured DEs being offered on this base and it possibly even offering a lot of Sway's tiling features. [9] It still feels like the early days (for non-Gnome), but with Nvidia driver 470 & accelerated XWayland coming up, the Vulkan efforts, Electron (finally) and Wine making the switch I feel fairly confident saying that 2021 is shaping up to be the year of the Wayland desktop. Free of screen tearing and X-related worries since 2020 :-) [0]: https://wayfire.org/ https://wayfire.org/ [1]: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar [2]: https://github.com/WayfireWM/wf-shell https://github.com/WayfireWM/wf-shell [3]: https://github.com/DorianRudolph/sirula https://github.com/DorianRudolph/sirula [4]: https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep [5]: https://github.com/emersion/grim https://github.com/emersion/grim [6]: https://github.com/emersion/mako https://github.com/emersion/mako [7]: My not-completely-but-fairly Wayfire config https://gist.github.com/solarkraft/f46421295b8c211b2eb56b3acc118cc4 https://gist.github.com/solarkraft/f46421295b8c211b2eb56b3ac...
