Wayfire
A wlroots-based Wayland compositor inspired by Compiz, with window management and desktop effects extended through plugins. Settings use an INI-style configuration file; users can enable effects and behaviours independently, making Wayfire a configurable compositing desktop rather than a fixed tiler. Wayfire describes itself as a 3D Wayland compositor inspired by Compiz and built on wlroots.
