Wayland. We on the XMonad devteam (Tomáš, Tony, Yecine, and myself) have been collecting contributions for the past two years with an eye toward paying someone to work on a port of XMonad to Wayland, since none of us is up to the task. We think we now have enough contributions coming in monthly to pay for someone to work with us on it. (2023-10-06)

XMonad is..

tiling: xmonad automates the common task of arranging windows, so you can concentrate on getting stuff done.
minimal: Out of the box, no window decorations, no status bar, no icon dock. just clean lines and efficiency.
stable: Haskell and smart programming practices guarantee a crash-free experience.
extensible: It sports a vibrant extension library, including support for window decorations, status bars, and icon docks.
full of features: core features like per-screen workspaces, true xinerama support and managehooks can’t be found in any other wm.
easy: we work hard to make common configuration tasks one-liners.
friendly: an active, friendly mailing list and IRC channel (#xmonad@irc.libera.chat) are waiting to help you get up and running.
