Yeah not to detract from the linked project (it’s one of the more interesting of its type) but the rarity of floating Wayland WMs is odd. With X there’s tons of options for building a minimal traditional floating window desktop, but that has yet to become true for Wayland.

- jeroenhd 3y ago> the rarity of floating Wayland WMs is odd I imagine most Linux users will be on either KDE or GNOME+Mutter. People who don't use that are likely to be into low-spec desktop environments (XFCE and such) or niche solutions (i3 and friends). There are niche stack window managers (labwc/Liri shell/Wayfire) but they don't have quite the cult following tiling WMs do.
