niri

Scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor that arranges windows in an infinite horizontal strip.

Desktopfree

niri is a free, open-source scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor for Linux that arranges windows in columns on an infinite horizontal strip, so opening a new window never resizes the ones already open. It's aimed at Linux users who want a tiling window manager with dynamic per-monitor workspaces and a built-in overview, as an alternative to grid-based tilers like i3 or Sway.
