  • yabai

    A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

  • XQuartz

    An X11 server and client libraries for macOS

    Or you could try your luck with running an x11 server in a container or something, then rigging the display by ip through xquartz. Running something native in macos would take a lot of compiling from source or ports. Doubt you'd get gnome or kde running these days but maybe wm2 or dwm? 🤷‍♂️

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
