Add xmonad to gnome
For me launching Gnome with xmonad as the window manager stopped working a few years ago. Instead I have xmonad set to autostart 2 seconds into a desktop session with --replace set. dotfiles

How to set everything up on laptop to use xmonad
With regards to 1, I've got a system that works pretty well for me. You can look in my dotfiles and the script called setup-xmonad.sh. I've configured things to run xmonad --replace shortly after the desktop comes up and that works great.

KDE: A Nice Tiling Environment and a Surprisingly DE
> xmonad itself can’t run with modern Gnome
That's not really true. I use the gnome-flashback sesson and have an .desktop in ~/.config/autostart that runs xmonad --replace after I log in. It's true that logging in with a gnome session using xmonad as the WM isn't really an option any more but switching to xmonad after login continues to work great and is easier to set up than creating your own session ever was.

USB to phone connection not recognised when I am in Xmonad. But working when I go back to Desktop environment. DE == GNOME
I wasn't able to get those instructions to work on more recent versions of Ubuntu. In my dotfiles and setup repo I've got a solution that works for me using autostart and xmonad --replace.

The growth of command line options, 1979-Present
Yes, there's stuff that you can't get just from parsing the man page too, but it's a huge help. I know it's not done every startup, I have running that as part of my "update everything" script.

XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
I've been using XMonad for over 10 years now. Originally I went with Awesome but then decided I liked still having a normal desktop environment and XMonad's integration with Gnome was really easy.
The way I've done this has changed a bit over the years, these days I drop a file in .config/autostart letting xmonad replace the normal window manager after Gnome gets itself sorted out.

Which DE plays nicely with xmonad?
Hmm, I don't use a vertical panel so it might not be comparable. My dotfiles are here though if you want to take a look.

X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.

A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.

How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.
-
I would not give up haskell for hiring purposes. I think it will exponentialy rise through the roof in a year or two [2012]
Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?
-
Little advice, please.
regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.
