Wayfire is a Wayland compositor based on wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight environment without sacrificing its appearance.

...It supports multi-monitor setups, fractional scaling, floating windows, NVIDIA drivers, and input devices like tablets and touchpads. Stable for daily usage, many users have adopted it as their primary Wayland environment.

Smithay is a modular toolkit for building Wayland compositors in Rust. Rather than a standalone compositor, it provides building blocks like protocol handlers, session backends, DRM abstractions, and input/output utilities. It supports core and extended Wayland protocols, libseat, tablets, graphics tablets, Xwayland, and more. It's mature and under active development, providing a “smithy” for compositor authors.

...It takes a no-bling/frills approach and says no to features such as animations. It relies on clients for panels, screenshots, wallpapers and so on to create a full desktop environment. Labwc tries to stay in keeping with wlroots and sway in terms of general approach and coding style. Firstly, we believe that there is a need for a simple Wayland window-stacking compositor that strikes a balance between minimalism and bloat approximately at the level where Window Managers like Openbox reside in the X11 domain. ...

wlroots is a flexible and composable C library that abstracts backends (KMS/DRM, libinput, X11, headless) and implements a full suite of Wayland protocols. It’s designed to empower compositor developers to focus on unique features rather than boilerplate, offering support for rendering, input, output management, and XWayland integration.

Fireplace is a lightweight, modular Wayland tiling window manager written in Rust. Built on Smithay or wlc (in older code), it supports floating windows, BSP-style tiling, layer-shell basics, and workspace concepts. It aims to serve as a rapid-development playground for rich, keyboard-driven desktop workflows with GNOME compatibility goals.
