Says the man who made one lol. I am still using hyprland because the sad thing is i like it but im trying to switch to something that is not made by a transphobe… what do yall recommend?
You’ve gotten good responses already, but I just live and let live with Gnome’s Mutter & KDE’s Kwin. It’s worth mentioning that they’re both highly polished offerings. But I would also understand why one wouldn’t want to use either.
I’m a big fan of niri, which is a scrolling tiling compositor. I always had a soft spot for tiling wms/compositors, but couldn’t stick with any of them for long until I tried niri, and wholeheartedly embraced the scrolling tiling world.
Very friendly upstream & community, and written in a modern language, too.
I dont think ill like scrolling tiling but you never know so ill try. At first i thought tiling was stupid and now look i feel like im digitally dissabled when i use a pure floating system.
Cosmic-comp is my second favorite after hyprland so far due to their tiling being quite well thought-out. The problem is, it’s part of a DE and is somewhat cumbersome to configure as a standalone compositor (can be fixed by patching libcosmic, tho), and also it’s quite bare-bones when it comes to features.
Then there’s pinnacle which looks promising, but I haven’t yet tried to daily-drive it.
Qtile was my first daily driver tiling WM. It was a pain in the ass to install, but it’s damn near as extensible as DWM (since the config file is literally a python program). The only thing I hate about it is that you can’t reposition windows in the tiling layout by drag-and-drop.

If touchpad gestures work, I’m putting that on my macbook air. That looks so comfortable.

river, its by far the nicest to configure and use

Also, maybe qtile, which has a Wayland back-end.

Ill try out your suggestions. Ive thought about using cosmic but its alpha and it will have a bunch of stuff i wont use probably.
I have been really happy with sway. It does all that I want it to do.
Sway is my safe option. I will check out what kind of rices people cooked up with it and maybe i see somethig nice i can copy.
There is also SwayFX if you go with Sway and want (a little) more customization.
