Sway 1.9 Released - Using New wlroots Rendering API For Better Performance

It's also as useless as a rock since it's a tiling WM.

COming from Enlightenment, I used to think that,too.
But after the switch I never looked back.

I like Sway (and Hyprland as well.) These kinds of tiling window managers work well for me on a smaller tablet-sized Dell I have where running anything more than one window/app per workspace really is of no use. Allows me to be very keyboard-centric, save screen real estate, stay focused, etc. And that Dell tablet-y thing is running Arch (yeah, when running Arch we all have to tell everyone ) so I suspect Sway 1.9 will be available pretty soon if is not so already!

I've been using sway as a stacking wm for a few years now. Even wrote a taskbar that adds all the nice bits needed for floating workflow (https://github.com/LBCrion/sfwbar).

that looks really nice, i'll have to try it out

It's too bad that Sway is the only stable Wayland compositor based on wlroots:
- Waybar crashes on anything but Sway
- Wayfire has input hold bugs
- Labwc kills everything the moment I turn off the monitor
None of these issues happened when I tested Sway.

Phosh is solid as a rock and is wlroots based.
