After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

That looks awesome! Having used fvwm, I’m a fan of the scrollable desktop

I’ve been using swayfx, a fork of Sway with a little more eye candy.

I can only recommend niri!

I like niri, but I’ll be damned if I can get any kind of stability out of it. I’ll have myself a flawless time at home testing, but as soon as my laptop enters University Grounds it stops launching apps, or crashes, or whatever else.

Right now I’m using Gnome/PaperWM since Infinite horizontal has changed my workflow so dramatically, and Gnome is more stable for me.

I’m a fan of qtile. Used it when it was x11 only and use it on Wayland now.

None of the suggestions are even close to how good hyprland is. Like not even a little close.
