Says the man who made one lol. I am still using hyprland because the sad thing is i like it but im trying to switch to something that is not made by a transphobe… what do yall recommend?
Edit: whoa it really is. I joined their discord and saw like, very strict anti-lgbtqphobic rules and thought that they must be good. But looking into him… Turns out the rules are there because he’d let it fester into a 4chan toxic hellhole
I’m a big fan of niri, which is a scrolling tiling compositor. I always had a soft spot for tiling wms/compositors, but couldn’t stick with any of them for long until I tried niri, and wholeheartedly embraced the scrolling tiling world.
Very friendly upstream & community, and written in a modern language, too.
river has community layouts and I’m currently using bsp-layout, it’s not the same as bspwm but somewhat similar. Also the developer of river is working on to separate the window management which will allow basically anything related to layouts.
Cosmic-comp is my second favorite after hyprland so far due to their tiling being quite well thought-out. The problem is, it’s part of a DE and is somewhat cumbersome to configure as a standalone compositor (can be fixed by patching libcosmic, tho), and also it’s quite bare-bones when it comes to features.
Then there’s pinnacle which looks promising, but I haven’t yet tried to daily-drive it.

I have been really happy with sway. It does all that I want it to do.
Sway is my safe option. I will check out what kind of rices people cooked up with it and maybe i see somethig nice i can copy.
There is also SwayFX if you go with Sway and want (a little) more customization.
Whoa - hyprland is made by a transphobe?

river, its by far the nicest to configure and use
river is awesome, and I like it even beyond bspwm.
Unfortunately bspwm is better. Binary separation allowed for just about any layout imaginable, but river does not.

Fortunately, you are wrong, there are BSP layouts for river.

Also, maybe qtile, which has a Wayland back-end.
