It's arguable whether sway is "simple". Last I remember it clocked in at ~50k lines of C excluding wlroots. Some X window managers are a few hundred lines.

- Daishiman 4y agoSounds like functionality that can be turned into a common library.
- Gigachad 4y agoIt is. Sway is based on WLRoots which you can easily import and build a new window manager on with minimal code. Most of the wayland fud is either seriously out of date, mistaken, or malicious.
- d_tr 4y agoFWIW, i3 is in the same ballpark, maybe a bit less if I am not mistaken.
