Sway Alternatives
Sway is described as 'Tiling Wayland Compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3's features, plus a few extras' and is a wayland compositor in the os & utilities category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Sway for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Wayland, X11, BSD and FreeBSD apps. The best Sway alternative is Hyprland, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Sway are niri, GlazeWM, river and Wayfire.
