Xmonad seeking help for Wayland port (2023)

I was so sad when I lost xmonad support on Ubuntu 24.

I think the closest thing that could get most of the way there is https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell/

You can get very close if not all the way with qtile if you accept using python instead of haskell.

If you're not committed to Ubuntu, Xmonad still works great with X11 in the latest Debian Stable.

I have Xmonad running well on Ubuntu 24 with Gnome Flashback

The packages I install are: xmonad libghc-xmonad-extras-dev gnome-flashback gnome-panel

(plus suckless-tools and xmobar)

That should give you a login option for "GNOME Flashback (Xmonad)"

I recall there were a couple of hacks necessary to show the Gnome Panel:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback root-background true

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback desktop false

and then the panels you can hide or remove per your preference

Could you elaborate?

I'm a long-time Xmonad user. Currently, I'm using Ubuntu 25.04, having upgraded to new non-LTS releases every six months, on two computers running Xmonad. I haven't run into any problems.
