driftwm

Trackpad-first infinite-canvas Wayland compositor where windows live at native size, not tiled.

Desktopfree

driftwm is a Wayland compositor that places windows at native size on an infinite, pannable, zoomable canvas instead of tiling or stacking them, snapping nearby windows into movable groups. It's designed trackpad-first for laptop users, with gesture-driven navigation and bookmarked canvas positions.
