Compare Cagebreak with alternatives

• Cagebreak vs HyprlandHyprland adds dynamic tiling with animations and extensive layout configuration under BSD-3-Clause, moving away from Cagebreak's minimal design without visual extras.
• Cagebreak vs dwldwl offers minimal dwm-style dynamic tiling on wlroots, with customisation usually done by editing the C source and recompiling rather than through a config file.
• Cagebreak vs riverriver separates the compositor from window management, so you choose or write a separate window manager program, and building it from source needs the Zig toolchain.
• Cagebreak vs SwaySway brings i3-style keyboard tiling on Wayland with much of the i3 configuration format and a far larger user base than Cagebreak's Ratpoison-inspired model.
• Cagebreak vs niriniri uses scrollable tiling, placing windows in columns on an endless horizontal strip so new windows do not resize existing ones, with an IPC interface for scripting.
• Cagebreak vs miracle-wmmiracle-wm is built on Mir instead of a minimal design, adding i3-style tiling with animations, shader effects and plugin support, packaged as a Snap and Debian package.
• Cagebreak vs SwayFXSwayFX keeps Sway's tiling and configuration but adds blur, rounded corners and shadows, at some overhead compared with plain Sway and far from Cagebreak's minimalism.
