Choosing a hybrid Wayland Compositor (slrpnk.net)

  1. I am very unlikely to switch away from KDE Plasma 6
  2. I would anyways like to try Sway or the like
  3. I dont use virtual desktops and find just navigating through a bottom taskbar makes more sense for me
  4. I have many apps fullscreen, and would never tile more than once vertically, as I am on a Laptop
  5. I want: NightLight, tray icons, a good app menu, many KDE Apps (Dolphin, Kate, Ark, Gwenview, Spectacle Edit feature at least)

Are Wayland WMs ready for this use case? What would you recommend to fill these exact requirements?

Automatable (configuration-less) is indispensable. I got used to it with bspwm, and after using that for a while, switched to herbstluftwm and realized I'm stuck. I don't think I can go back to a WM with a configuration file anymore. Even the different between i3 and fully config-less like hlwm is stark once you're on the other side.

What does this mean? You do a manual action once and it always uses that position?
