Nice stff man. Why exactly do u use xmonad? Have you ever tried Wayland?
Not OP, but I originally xmonad because Haskell. I’m still on it because it is the only WM with a “contexts” feature/extension https://github.com/procrat/xmonad-contexts
sway devs discarded its feature request https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4044
and I personally am more interest now on compositors/WMs that implement Smithay (Rust) instead of wlroots (in C). Specifically https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM, which I suppose will be easier to extend.
Smithay looks cool, but no version release in 2 years?
Yeah, that’s odd. But guess most projects are using the master branch anyway, e.g. https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM/blob/0ec02c92d63dd43d45fa3534f565fa587db506af/Cargo.toml#L20-L21
Yep. Ive seen the commits. Are there any other compositors yet?
Thanks! I used xmonad because I was learning Haskell and thought it would be a good way to get some actual experience. This is my desktop which I use X due to nvidia issues with wayland but I actually just received a new laptop today and I have tried wayland on that.
