Why? > It can be run in floating window, or tiling mode. > Wayland support is WIP. Not recommended. What you describe looks to me like Hyprland. You should try it if you want to keep the same workflow on wayland! > clicking the mouse on the root window brings up your menu (my preferred setup), This seems slow. I have the windows key mapped to drun, to open floating menus. You can run many floating menus, with type ahead (like fzf or fzy) > You can turn off all the crap like task bar etc Same on hyprland, but a good taskbar is one that doesn't go against your workflow but with it: mine is very thin and mostly shows the virtual desktop, if the screensaver is forcefully disabled, the name and signal of the network, the volume, temperature, free ram, cpu, battery charge. It can be toggled off with a shortcut. There's no need to list the individual running apps if each one has its own desktop and run in fullscreen mode. Likewise, no need to waste space on titlebars if the title can go in the taskbar.
