I'm actually pretty excited about this. I've tried many tiling window managers, and Stumpwm is the only one I haven't "bounced off of". I can't run it currently because my desktop environment is on Wayland, and the only thing that really works properly on Wayland right now is Gnome (which I *like*, it generally stays out of your way). There's currently one tiling compositor for Wayland, which is Sway, a port of i3wm. It's good, probably, but has some lacking features, like syncing clipboards between Wayland and X, which I can't live without. Also, I have trouble understanding its nested window layouts. The hard thing about a transition to Wayland will be the fact that a Wayland compositor has to do a lot more than an X11 window manager. There are a lot of things that helper apps could do under X that can only be done by the compositor under Wayland. There are a few libraries to help doing this (swc, wlc, ewlc). But I don't think any of them work all that well? Oh, there are CL bindings for libwayland (https://github.com/malcolmstill/cl-wayland). So that would probably be the way forward. It's currently used to implement an FVWM-like compositor. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
