What if you want to use Wayland, but prefer Window Maker, which is restricted to legacy X11? Enter wlmaker, or Wayland Maker, a Wayland compositor that reproduces the look and feel of Window Maker. It’s lightweight, very configurable through human-readable configuration files, supports dockable applications, and more.
It’s actually packaged in FreeBSD and a number of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu and Debian (Fedora’s package is outdated), but of course, you can compile it yourself, too.
I love Window Maker, so this is welcome news. It looks like there’s a lot of stuff still unimplemented before it’s daily driveable.
I dont like screen space wastage, i will probably not use it but i like the effort. I would loute to see a revival of etoilé.
But on the other hand, redhat/ibm is the enemy of open source and free speech, so i hope that they suffer bancruptcy.

I think I get the jump from Wayland Maker to Etoile as Etoile was meant to be a GNUstep desktop and Wayland Maker is inspired by the NeXTstep UI.
But, and I hesitate to ask, what is the relationship with Red Hat or IBM? Because Wayland?
