Finally tested wayback with dwm on Slackware -current! 🎉

wayback is a stub Wayland compositor that hosts a rootful Xwayland server, letting you run your full X11 setup unchanged on top of Wayland. Built from source, wrote a small launch script and dwm came up fine with st.

Still experimental and needs some tweaking but the core concept works — keep your dwm, st and all your suckless tools, just drop Xorg underneath.

If you're a minimalist X11 user not ready to jump to a Wayland WM, keep an eye on this project!
