I’m new to wayland and still shopping around for a tiling wm that makes me happy. I’m familiar with ratpoison, and hear cagebreak might be a suitable alternative?
What other Wayland tilers have you tried? Niri, Sway, and River are all established and have become stable. I’ve heard good things about DWL too, but it’s not something I’ve tried.
I’m using Sway, and just find myself not caring for it. Niri is super cool, but just not the solution for this particular laptop. The laptop in question is my daily driver and productivity rig, and I prefer it to be a super minimal experience.
DWL might be the choice then. It’s a Wayland take on DWM, so minimal as can be.
I’ll give it a shot this weekend, thank you.
@ohmyla@lemmy.world how do you feel about this plan?
I honestly hadn’t heard about Cagebreak until I looked it up.
I’m still sticking with i3 (XLibre), though (as it suits my needs well).
I’m gonna demo dwl this weekend, and then likely cagebreak next weekend. If it truly is as they say a ratpoison alternative, then it’s probably gonna be my jam.
@ohmyla@lemmy.world do you have any suggestions?
Have you tried Hyprland?
I thought cagebreak was for running individual apps in an isolated Wayland instance or something
I’d recommend avoiding Hyprland and the other projects by that dev. Incredibly toxic and transphobic.
Granted, it’s open source so you’re not exactly financially supporting them, so it’s more a question of platforming and justifying the sponsorships they get from third parties.

My understanding is that you’re thinking of cage. Cagebreak seems to be built on top of cage, but with a ratpoison-like experience.
