Which desktop environment are you using on Void Linux?
river, a tiling Wayland compositor, because it's like bspwm (what I used previously) but on Wayland, which I've wanted to try. (Xorg is old and full of security holes - can't sandbox GUI apps without hacks like QubesOS, or even screenlock properly, which river's author fixed at last)

It actually works now and I am not getting those weird artifacts I had with X11
I'm using the River WM on Wayland, as it's the closest thing to a dynamic tiler with tags for wayland in active development I can find. Not really feature-complete yet though. I'm looking forward to wayland getting more attention from the community as a whole, which should hopefully be soon.

How can I directly open a Window with a specific tag in the River Wayland compositor?
I don't think they've implemented that yet, but they plan to. See this issue and this issue on their bug tracker.
