  • With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?

    Take a look to Vivarium It is more recent it worked decently and it is remakably easy to config.
  • I am looking for a wayland based tiling window manager which is close to dwm/xmonad, which one would you recommend?

    I wrote Vivarium specifically to behave like my old xmonad setup, although it isn't at all like xmonad internally. It's configurable in C.

    Since various people are asking about xmonad-like tiling in wayland:

    I wrote Vivarium[0] specifically to be a wayland compositor that behaves exactly like my (fairly simple) xmonad config, but it's a relatively new/unstable compositor and nothing like xmonad internally.

    River[1] has a fantastic tiling model via user-provided executables, which makes it very flexible and probably a good fit for many people wanting something xmonad-like.

    Waymonad[2] exists as a direct xmonad-like compositor, but I think development has been basically stalled for a long time. Sometimes there's discussion about reviving it though.

    Vivarium has xwayland as an option, enabled by default.

    https://github.com/inclement/vivarium.git and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl.git are also great projects in the same vein.
