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

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!

I found interesting to find that Microsoft has Rust as one of the main "Develoipment paths" to development on Windows.
I wrote my very first window manager for Windows 10 in Rust earlier this here, I built it from the ground up using the new windows-rs crate. It was my first time developing anything for Windows and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the MS documentation ecosystem, and I also had a lot of great example code to learn from thanks to other projects like nog.

Closest thing to i3 on windows
My pick would be nog, also see this post. Probably worth a try.

Can I do this?
Instead of explorer.exe, I use Nog which is a tiling window manager for Windows. I have x410 autostart and wsl launch i3.
