@profoundlynerdy I love Sway! It's compatible with most i3 configs, and Wayland is so much more responsive. It does take a bit of configuring and memorization to take full advantage of though. Are you familiar with tiling window managers?

Sway has this thing called scratchpad — it's where you have stuff that you want to have running, but don't have proper place for its windows in your current layout, so they live in this limbo with their windows hidden, but you can always bring them back if you want to.
Sway wiki has a nice list of software that works well with it: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
