For a while I used wayland and sway. You can check out [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/d0fuc1/sway_mario_plays_the_blues/) for some pretty imagery. My current setup is back to X11 because I needed some things that don't work on a pure wayland setup yet.
If you want to check out the wayland config (which is most probably very outdated after so many years), you can find [the wayland branch on github](https://github.com/nkoehring/configs/tree/wayland).
