  • awesome-wlroots

    A curated list of tools and compositors for wlroots

    • It's true, it's going to drag on for years. But Wayland is creeping into the mainstream. It has been the default on Gnome for a good while and Gnome Wayland is going to be the default in Ubuntu's new release. KDE is a bit behind but also on it, promising "production level quality" until the end of this year. At the same time a new class of compositors without any X heritage is emerging around the wlroots library.

  • sway

    i3-compatible Wayland compositor

    • waiting for some of these to be implemented, if they ever will. i use awesomewm now, cant live without the ability to split my screen into virtual ones because ultrawide and haven't found a wayland wm that has even somewhat similar ability.

  • obs-studio

    OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording

    • Don't you use KMS for that?

  • xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

    • And idk, it seems like there are even multiple protocols here.

  • wayfire

    A modular and extensible wayland compositor

    • It mostly lacks tiling features so I'm not sure if it works for you, but I like to go around recommending my favorite compositor Wayfire. Since it's a spiritual successor to Compiz it has a lot of eye candy.

  • gamescope

    Discontinued SteamOS session compositing window manager [Moved to: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope] (by Plagman)

    • Haven't done any gaming in wayland yet since my main rig is nvidia, but valve's gamescope might have already fixed this
