Recently I’ve been wanting a nice minimal stacking/floating window manager for Wayland, but there aren’t actually very many that keep it super minimal while also looking decent, so I decided to try my hand at making my own. I looked around a bit and came to the conclusion that my option were either do it using dwl or a tinywl fork, or use River, which handles the compositing part for me. I think it’ll be the best option because it abstracts a lot away and implements the stuff that I either couldn’t or wouldn’t want to do myself. This takes a slight hit to system resources (~70Mb bigger than unchanged dwl and ~100Mb bigger than quackwm (a premade fork of tinywl). Maybe I’ll make a super lightweight one in the future), but it’s still light and minimal. I’ll be starting from the tinyrwm example on the River codeberg page, which will give me a proper base to start from. The screenshot is just black because it just starts and not much else.
