dwl with customisations, including key bindings, sensible defaults, patches, etc. to suit my needs.
From the project page:
dwl is a compact, hackable compositor for Wayland based on wlroots. It is intended to fill the same space in the Wayland world that dwm does in X11, primarily in terms of philosophy, and secondarily in terms of functionality.
Make sure to install wlroots
and wayland-protocols
before building.
git clone https://github.com/markbunse/dwl
cd dwl
sudo make clean install
For basic functionality (terminal, statusbar, launcher), install at the very least alacritty
, waybar
, and bemenu
.
Kill your current Xorg or Wayland session (or switch to another tty) and run dwl
.
You can launch programmes with bemenu-run
by pressing Super + d
.
Check out the config for all keybindings and programmes that this build requires.
