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.

XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
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.

Recommended Compositors
Vivarium has xwayland as an option, enabled by default.

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

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Is there an app that does this Windows feature?
Want something free that's better than tiling on Windows? Yabai.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.

Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
I use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling.
> there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly
This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too.
For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.

macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled.
