Never used sway, what 'features' does it lack?

DWM can do everything that sway can and even more in less than 1000 lines.

what does it lack? I use it and it's as good as i3 if not better

+2 million lines for the xorg server

I3 is also extremely bloated and lacks features that dwm has

Then add 15 million lines for the Linux kernel to sway

There is no reason for me to use dwm when I already can use dynamic tiling on sway

Use dwm.

I don't think you know what dynamic tiling means but sway doesn't have it

you can hack it in just like you need to hack in features just to use dwm, if you actually see that webm that's exactly how dwm manages windows.

Does horizontal resize work in DWM layout?

yes, you resize in any way you wish and bind it to whatever key combination, maybe even add in a resize mode if you want to like visual mode from vim
Hell it even it better than dwm in the fact that you can use the mouse to resize if you want for some reason

which one of you made the logo

>dynamic window meme

GPU driver support other than nouveau.

>what does it lack?
Ability to specify Friday the next window spawns relative to the current one.
Proper hotkey daemon like sxhkd.
Built in one is shit and caused me multiple errors when different apps took precedence over it.

Ability to specify where the next window spawns relative to the currently active one*

how you count the lines?

is there a distro where you can accomplish something like this? what would you call this? a launcher?

I checked the amount of lines those projects have

i3: 141,899 lines
dwm: 3.194 lines
sway: 71.198 lines

why they are saying that sway has more lines?

You probably could with KDE. It’s very customizable.

wlroots:68.002 lines

im not against bloat i like X11 being big and complete.

to sum it all up

i3, xorg: 141,899 + 817.715 = 959.614 lines
dwm: 3.194 lines
sway, wlroots: 71.198+68.002 = 139.200 lines

command used:
git ls-files | xargs wc -l

>Is this...the power of Wayland?
no that's the power of c

not really accurate, those counts include documentation, tests, examples, build system configs, helper programs, etc
