Finally tested wayback with dwm on Slackware -current! πŸŽ‰

wayback is a stub Wayland compositor that hosts a rootful Xwayland server, letting you run your full X11 setup unchanged on top of Wayland. Built from source, wrote a small launch script and dwm came up fine with st.

Still experimental and needs some tweaking but the core concept works β€” keep your dwm, st and all your suckless tools, just drop Xorg underneath.

If you're a minimalist X11 user not ready to jump to a Wayland WM, keep an eye on this project!

Wayback is just a unfinished X11. It supports less hardwares, lacks basic settings like dpms, and it crashes randomly. If you can't leave X11, just use Xorg. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqh4xcdfyq02gr0zs058eqya09t88vyz3yqqdt8vwf0vsz2ur244zsmtqxrs
