i'm using dwl (a wayland fork of dwm) (awesomewm is based on dwm).

https://github.com/djpohly/dwl

it is _just_ dwm for wayland, though, so it's not what most people would call "feature-rich". it's suckless, so "features" are just "patches passed around the community" and "configuration" is "modify config.h and re-build". it can't really be packaged for re-distribution in any useful way.

i use a few other pure-wayland components as well to make it more like a full desktop environment rather than just a window manager.

Slightly off-topic but by "can't really be packaged for re-distribution in any useful way" did you mean binary packages? Because there are build systems/package managers that let you easily build a package with minor tweaks.


you're right, i did mean as a binary. and yes, for example arch users can install it from the aur with e.g. paru/yay, inserting their own changes to the pkgbuild. it's also in the freebsd ports tree (under x11-wm, even though it's wayland-only).
