      I'm a big fan of niri, which is a scrolling tiling compositor. I always had a soft spot for tiling wms/compositors, but couldn't stick with any of them for long until I tried niri, and wholeheartedly embraced the scrolling tiling world.

      Very friendly upstream & community, and written in a modern language, too.

        I dont think ill like scrolling tiling but you never know so ill try. At first i thought tiling was stupid and now look i feel like im digitally dissabled when i use a pure floating system.

      You've gotten good responses already, but I just live and let live with Gnome's Mutter & KDE's Kwin. It's worth mentioning that they're both highly polished offerings. But I would also understand why one wouldn't want to use either.

        I love KDE and use it as my daily driver, but talking strictly about the tilling experience, it just ain't it.
        I've tried both Polonium and a updated fork of Kröhnkite for Plasma 6, and neither them were as nice as Hyprland...

      Cosmic-comp is my second favorite after hyprland so far due to their tiling being quite well thought-out. The problem is, it's part of a DE and is somewhat cumbersome to configure as a standalone compositor (can be fixed by patching libcosmic, tho), and also it's quite bare-bones when it comes to features.

      Then there's pinnacle which looks promising, but I haven't yet tried to daily-drive it.

      Also, maybe qtile, which has a Wayland back-end.
