As the summer winds down, the Miracle-WM team is pleased to announce the release of Miracle-WM version 0.3.1, which brings a substantial refactor of the Container system, alongside a suite of bug fixes aimed at enhancing user experience and system stability.

But waitโ€”you haven’t heard of Miracle-WM? It’s a new Wayland compositor still in development, rooted in the foundations of Ubuntuโ€™s Mir display server. It draws inspiration from popular tiling compositors like i3 and Sway but aims to surpass them in both aesthetics and functionality.

This update’s highlight is the groundwork it sets for the upcoming Fedora Miracle Spin, which is expected to be finalized later this month. Moreover, the Miracle-WM 0.3.1 update encompasses several critical changes:

  • Snap has been updated to version 0.3.0.
  • Miracle-WM’s Container system has undergone a major overhaul, improving the management and functionality of window containers.
  • Modifications in the Window and Workspace management logic to reduce dependency on the active window.
  • Various issues have been addressed on the bug fixes side, including mode reporting inaccuracies and multi-subscription problems.
  • New capabilities have been integrated, such as support for swaymsg exit and the implementation of a default configuration if none exists.

Lastly, remember that the project is under heavy development and has not yet reached its first stable release. In light of this, it is recommended not to use it as your daily driver as you may face some issues.

If you want to try it out, it is readily available for installation via Snap:

sudo snap install miracle-wm --classicCode language: Bash (bash)

Then, you must create the configurations in the โ€œ~/.config/miracle-wm.yamlโ€ file, as you can check here for possible options.

In addition, make sure to install packages such as “waybar,” “swaybg,” “fonts-font-awesome,” etc., and set up their configurations in the file mentioned above to get a working desktop environment, instead of displaying just a blank black screen after log in.
