- opan 3y agoWasn't this deemed a failure and shut down? The source repos are archived. I think Drew DeVault had a blog post about it since he was friends with the author.
- seszett 3y agoX window managers cannot run on Wayland and that's not something that can change in the future. There are many awesome-like Wayland compositors though, I've used sway, hyprland and river.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoYou... might be able to, kind of, depending on your goal... So the thing is, if all you need is a single screen (or at least, I've not run this multi-monitor) and you're just working around drivers that don't support Xorg, you can just run cage ( https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage ), run xwayland on that, and run your real GUI on that. Of course, then you're skipping all the advantages of wayland except hardware/driver compatibility. For "real" wayland, sibling comments are correct that you'd need a wayland compositor that reimplemented awesome.
- dietr1ch 3y agoI've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/ http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.
