Tileception, a zoomable tiling compositor for Linux

Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source Wayland compositor arranges Linux windows in nestable tile splits, with zoom controls for moving between levels.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.

For: Linux users who prefer nested tiling layouts
Worth noticing: Dropping a window on a tile’s edge docks it there; dropping it in the centre creates a tab group.

Field notes

The layout rules are spelled out in practical terms: a new window takes half of the focused tile, and the split follows the longer side. The site also gives separate routes for trying the compositor in a window or choosing it at login, and lists Debian 13/sid plus Ubuntu 24.04/26.04 for its install command. Multiple screens and HiDPI scaling are described as future work.
