  • Hyprland

    Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

    • Project mention: Wayland breaks your bad software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-30

    I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.

  • wayfire

    A modular and extensible wayland compositor

    • Project mention: Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18

    Unusable until moving your mouse to the edges of the screen and clicking makes it hit the scrollbar, or the exit button. Right now it initiates a resize.

    Illustrated example from a different compositor https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/570

    It's the only DE I'm excited about it so I hope they fix that. Very very promising and the best part is that it made the GNOME people mad.

    GNOME: "Sorry I don't see the use case for that, PR closed. Make your own project. "

  • niri

    A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor.

    • Project mention: Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-05

    Taking it even one step further, I probably would really be better off managing the window tiling in my window manager, however, I still have yet to settle on a tiling window manager that works well enough under wayland and supports everything I need well enough to give up the Gnome shell. I did try https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri this past weekend and it's pretty great. niri is inspired by PaperWM. I used PaperWM for a while and it was pretty awesome but suffers from the same issue as all of the tiling extensions for Gnome shell: they are never stable enough for for my daily use because Gnome is a moving target and the gnome shell extension API isn't really up to the task of radically transforming the window management paradigm. Projects like PaperWM have too many downsides that are really difficult to overcome, despite their significant innovation and appealing UX.
