For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

    I’m a big sway fan - it’s the Wayland equivalent for i3

    Customisation takes a bit of time (as with all these sorts of things) but it was very stable for me once I had it set up

      Seconding Sway. I will admit I prefer autotiling (switching the split for new windows between horizontal/vertical automatically, rather than choosing which split you want), but overall Sway is so good in configuration that I still use it in spite of being a manual. The configuration takes time, but that’s common to pretty much any tiler.

          Fourthing sway, specifically swayfx and (as someone already mentioned) autotiling, both of which are available in the Nix repository without hassle.

          Thanks! You’ve all convinced me to try Sway. As soon as I have time to dive into the configuration, I’ll give it a shot!
