We all love tiling window managers and most of all love XMonad. As you may know, Wayland is trying to replace X11. This brings problems for us, since XMonad will not work with the new architecture.

Also, XMonad used to be extremely difficult for the end-user to configure and required tedious Haskell hacking to get the best rice onto your system.

This project is intended to provide a Wayland-based desktop which shares the ideals and experience from XMonad, while drastically improving the UX.

If you need to lock your session: swaylock should work perfectly fine. Currently that's not set up in any automatic way though.

Swaybg should work, and my waymonad-clients has a somewhat usable background application.

• There is barely any documentation so unless you are familiar with Haskell (and preferably XMonad), so get ready to basically get Waymonad Updated with none of the simplification in Alpha.

To test this, you need wlroots installed. This currently only builds with the new-build feature of cabal-install. stack is (not yet) supported.

• git clone --recursive https://github.com/QuillFlash/ezmonad
• cd ezmonad
• [PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig] cabal new-build

• Configure wlroots with: meson build --prefix=<your prefix>
• ninja -C build install
• PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<your prefix>/lib/pkgconfig cabal new-build

• cabal new-haddock

• A straight upgrade path
• A reimplementation of XMonad
• A full implementation containing DRM and other backends

• Implemented in Haskell
• predictable layouting
• based on the compositor library wlroots
• A more user-friendly take on XMonad
