Rewrite the rend...
Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features, plus a few extras.
Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.
I’ve been using it for a while now, its been robust and extensible. I think its only real downside is that its too extensible as out of the the box not much comes as standard that you might expect if you coming from something like gnome, such as a control panel, auto tiling, a lock screen, or screen capture (although this release seems to fix setting that up now). This should be expected as its a WM not a DE.
now that this is implemented it should just work, as far as i’m aware.
what they really need to work on is single window capture and global keyboard shortcuts… crazy that it still doesn’t have them, they’re literally the only missing features before sway is feature complete and they’ve been missing for AGES.
From their webpage … sounds pretty cool:

Sway is cool, but no support for Nvidia proprietary drivers, unfortunately.
