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.

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.
