  • river

    [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor (by riverwm)

  • Went ahead and implemented it.

  • sway

    i3-compatible Wayland compositor

  • You're partly wrong. Even as the NVIDIA drivers get better, the Sway contributors have shutdown any attempt to fix or report any bugs. This is somewhat because it's difficult to troubleshoot closed-source drivers, but understandably, they very much dislike NVIDIA and don't provide any level of support/care, even for the new drivers. That said, they are starting to accept NVIDIA PRs. Maybe it's possible to get it working?

  • Grid-Tiling-Kwin

    A kwin script that automatically tiles windows

  • wlroots-eglstreams

    Discontinued A modular Wayland compositor library with EGLStreams support

  • The developer of the EGL stream fork of wlroots wants to migrate to the original version, maybe if he will become a maintainer there could be a change in the status quo, or he can maintain a fork with fixes.

  • PaperWM

    Tiled scrollable window management for Gnome Shell

  • Would it be possible to use the 'layout generator' functionality to create scrolling workspaces in the style of PaperWM or cardboard? Where rather than tiling the traditional way into the space available on the monitor, windows are tiled next to each other in columns on an essentially infinitely wide workspace and scrolled to bring the focused window onto the monitor.
