From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AwesomeWM, and xdotool.
That's it. Oh and x-eyes of course
Have you tried ydotools, which works on both Wayland and X?

There's ydotool.
I find it's not as reliable in targeting inputs, and you sometimes need to set the XDG_RUNTIME variable yourself.
wtypeis much better at this, but is limited to keystrokeswhat do you use x-eyes for?

I don't think that was entirely serious...
You might be interested in river as a awesome replacement:
https://codeberg.org/river/wiki
Appreciate the link, and I don't mean to sound so ungrateful, but that extensive README contains everything except what exactly
riveris. Is it a desktop manager? A standalone compositor? What does it fix? What does it replace? etc.Edit: Oh, it's a tiling window manager, and all WMs in wayland have to be compositors.
