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.

- Any new Opensource projects in (rust) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.
- if I wanted to make a Tiling Window Manager in Rust, how would I go about it?

Where should I adventure myself
(Also I wouldn't mind if you want to contribute to leftwm ;))

Preferred DE/WM?
LeftWM if you are adventurous and want to support more Rust projects on Linux.

Picom backend optimization
I'm using a tiling window manager (LeftWM) and picom with experimental backends for compositing. I'm running into issues configuring picom for use on my laptop when I am on battery power. Two problems arise:

Is there a good tutorial for writing an X11 Tiling Window manager in Rust?
I've looked at these: - DWM: A popular, compact WM written in C - LeftWM: A popular, configurable WM written in Rust - GabelstaplerWM: An obscure, compact WM written in Rust - XCB DWM: An abandoned rewrite of DWM using XCB

Arch + Tiling Window Manager
Been using and liking LeftWM: https://github.com/leftwm/leftwm

Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
In particular, I think that "ultrawide-vertical-stack" (based on "CenterMain" from LeftWM) is quite close to what you are looking for. Give it a try with komorebic change-layout ultrawide-vertical-stack!

Komorebi: Another tiling window manager for Windows 10 based on binary space partitioning
Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing breadx and leftwm you can also consider the following projects:
my-penrose-config - My personal penrose config
i3-and-kde-plasma - How to install the i3 window manager on KDE
dwl - dwm for Wayland - ARCHIVE: development has moved to Codeberg
komorebi - A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉
wlroots - A modular Wayland compositor library
wayland-rs - Rust implementation of the wayland protocol (client and server).
x11rb - X11 bindings for the rust programming language, similar to xcb being the X11 C bindings
rust-xcb - Rust bindings and wrapper for XCB.
