Sawfish WM: Overview of Customization, Innovation, and Community-Driven Development
Sawfish WM is a highly configurable window manager for the X Window System. It was designed with flexibility in mind, emphasizing minimalism in policy while offering extensive customization through a built‐in Lisp scripting language known as rep.

If your system uses Wayland instead of Xorg, you may sometimes encounter a black screen issue when using x11grab from FFmpeg because x11grab works best with Xorg. Switching to a Xorg session should fix the problem.
Well, I really like #X11 (#Xorg) ... and my son loves #PeppaPig. Which gives me a stupid idea. I could write something called #Xchicken. Make some chicken lay some eggs with mouse clicks on some #XRender surface.
Rough roadmap:
- Draw some chicken and eggs, probably as SVG?
- Reuse code from #Xmoji, add special widget supporting some "layered canvas"
- Implement game logic
- Add sound? (Hm, gotta look into #OSS and maybe #sndio, cause #FreeBSD ... #Linux weirdness maybe later)
- ....?
I'll probably never start though

'"The (basic) kwin split had been completed yesterday. […] Both kwin_x11 and kwin_wayland are co-installable […] lwin_x11 is expected to be maintained until Plasma 7, no new features are expected to be backported (to be fair, the feature freeze has been in place for quite a while already […]). New fixes should be landed in kwin_wayland first, then backported to kwin_x11."'

Про миграцию на Wayland.
Последние пару лет у меня Xorg оставался на машинах из-за Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM).
Несколько месяцев назад #SDDM таки ушёл на #Wayland и больше #Xorg не используется, можно удалять.
Если что-то из софта потеряло функциональность, вынужденно работая через #Xwayland на тех системах, где нет Xorg, то в этом софте ментейнеры довольно быстро реализовал поддержку Wayland.
Однако, пошло это лишь тогда, когда дистрибутивы стали использовать Wayland в качестве основного GUI-сервера.
Не фанат Wayland, просто #X11 сам по себе и Xorg крайне небезопасны и категорически не способны сделать безопасный десктоп для пользователя. А потому и неизбежен переход на Wayland, альтернатив нет.
И в тоже время, комично наблюдать как толпы жалуются, что якобы Wayland плохой\сырой и т.д. так и не вкурив, о необходимости переключать софт на работу с ним.
Например, можно в /etc/environment вставить:
+ 
QT_WAYLAND_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL=zwp_text_input_v2
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"
SDL_VIDEODRIVER="wayland,x11"
Перезагрузиться и тогда уже составлять впечталение о работе десктопа с Wayland’ом.
Yeah, yeah, #Xorg old, unmaintainable, whatever. It's still my only choice for desktop.
What surprises me, though, is how some distros can keep it running super smooth, while others seem to have this problem at every few updates or so (it gets fixed, just to break again a few weeks later).
I guess this is smell of its unmaintainability - you fix something, but break another in the process. :S
