miracle-wm

miracle-wm is a Wayland compositor based on Mir. It features a tiling window manager at its core, very much in the style of i3 and sway. The intention is to build a compositor that is flashier and more feature-rich than either of those compositors, like swayfx.

See the installation guide for installation instructions on your platform.

Note

If none of this makes any sense to you or you're new to Wayland or Linux, check out the What is a Wayland compositor? document for a structured walk through the entire ecosystem.
