X11 programming: x11rb or rust-xcb ? What's the difference ?
rust-xcb and x11rb. As a bonus there is also breadx that is less popular but seems to have async support (although not sure how useful that would be).
-
We never know who is delusional..
Do you have a source for that or any specifics on how it "can't handle" the usecases? There's already work in Rust around fully supporting X11 (for example https://github.com/bread-graphics/breadx or https://github.com/psychon/x11rb)

Penrose 0.2.0 - a tiling window manager library
Thoughts on breadx for interfacing with X? It's not mature yet but the idea is there. Personally I think x11rb is how I'd do this from scratch. Then again, Penrose already works; no need to rewrite something if it's already as good as it is. Getting to "100% rust" it's really only a novelty goal.

How to patch dwl?
Patching autostart:

steamvr now working on DWL
If any of you have attempted to use SteamVR with DWL then you probably ran into the same issue I did. It doesn't have support for DRM leasing, so it can't actually show an image on the headset.

Can someone recommend a compositor to me?
Have you checked DWL which is DWM for Wayland? I haven't tried it yet so I can't say anything more.
-
Master and Stack setup
There's a python script called stacki3 that works both on i3wm and sway. There is also a dwm clone for wayland called dwl.
-
I actually use linux because its objectively better
I currently use dwl which is much, much lighter than i3 and suits my needs. On my laptop I just don't have a window manager of any kind installed, I can get by with lynx and the TTY.

Help needed with Wayland (riverwm and dwl) on Void Linux
I wanted to try two wayland compositors out (specifically dwl and river) and cannot for the life of me seem to get it working properly. I am currently doing this inside a VirtualBox vm.
