Looks like a great project. I'm a big TWM fan, so I would also like to direct attention to my daily driver, Niri. https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri https://github.

niri's nice too. I used to daily drive it, but I don't remember why I stopped using it. Nowadays, I just WM hop, I've used Hyprland, labwc, and Pop Shell with GNOME so far, but dwl looks promising to me.

Niri is awesome!

Another interesting one is Scroll, a scrolling-tiling fork of Sway: https://github.com/dawsers/scroll/ https://github.com/dawsers/scroll/

Niri has been my daily driver for a while now. It’s excellent and keeps getting better.

  Same here (on Fedora), coupled with Kando (which recently got Niri support) for mouse gestures, shortcuts and macros it's a total powerhouse. Sadly I can't seem to find a config I like for waybar, if anyone has any tips or dotfiles please share them!

    I never found a config either and decided to go without any sort of a bar. That was two years ago and seems to be working fine for me. I wrote a couple of tiny IPC watchers that send notifications on workspace change and whatnot. The rest is handled by centerpiece: https://github.com/friedow/centerpiece/issues https://github.com/friedow/centerpiece/issues

    My waybar just shows the time in the center, my network status, and my battery health. It’s very minimalist. I went without entirely for a while, but I missed having the time there at a glance.

Niri is pretty, but I find sway to be faster. Hotkeys and instant switch is just better (for me). I will continue to experiment, but sway feels more productive currently.

  I feel the opposite! Everything just works, and so ever fast!

  You can disable animations in Niri, which makes switching instantaneous. Since switching from sway to niri (with a minor detour via hyprland), I found that Niri's scrolling tiling matches much more closely how I work with windows. As a side note, I found that Niri uses less battery for me than both sway and hyprland.
