> I'm not switching to Wayland until my window manager supports it. Looking at your github, it seems you use StumpWM. It seems they are also working on a wayland version under the name Mahogany. Development seems pretty active: https://github.com/stumpwm/mahogany > I'll probably switch, grudgingly, to XWayland whenever X gets removed from Debian. FWIW I think "wayback" is the project for this. It seems to be trying to use XWayland to run full X11 desktop environments on top of Wayland: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayback/wayback
In Can I start using Wayland in 2026?
> Search and summon windows > > Shortcat lets you search window titles for more precise multi-tasking. StumpWM has this and it's a beautiful thing (default binding: prefix+"). I got in the habit of titling terminal and browser windows with the topic name of whatever I was working on. Made for very fast switching to find what I wanted among many windows/topics. Sadly I've needed to switch to Wayland and StumpWM is X11 only but it has a successor called Mahogany[1] that's being worked on. Oh, and both are written in Common Lisp if you like tweaking your WM from the REPL. [1]: https://github.com/stumpwm/mahogany
In AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS
