Description

Wayland windows can be arranged in dynamic tiling layouts with a small compositor focused on keyboard-driven workflows. This is useful for users who want a configurable tiling desktop without a full desktop environment.

It is a Wayland compositor built from development source, not an app launched inside another desktop. Configuration affects the whole session, so users should keep a fallback session available while experimenting.
