  • niri

    A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

    • Project mention: Cortile – Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-22

    Great project but I truly believe that these single screen window managers are going to be a thing of the past if Scrollable WMs manage to find an audience.

    Niri[1] and PaperWM for example, these Scrolling WMs provide a way to tile your apps in a way that feels natural. It's like having multiple monitors without having multiple monitors.

    When I first used PaperWM on Gnome, I just couldn't figure out why somebody would even use their computer the normal way when these exist.

  • wayfire

    A modular and extensible wayland compositor

    • Project mention: Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18

    Unusable until moving your mouse to the edges of the screen and clicking makes it hit the scrollbar, or the exit button. Right now it initiates a resize.

    Illustrated example from a different compositor https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/570

    It's the only DE I'm excited about it so I hope they fix that. Very very promising and the best part is that it made the GNOME people mad.

    GNOME: "Sorry I don't see the use case for that, PR closed. Make your own project. "
