[Feature Request]: SomeWM as installation option #1279

Description

@bungadrum

Problem Description

AwesomeWM won't work on Wayland there were no other compositor options that use Lua.

Proposed solution

There is Wayland compositor called "SomeWM" built on wlroots. It is 100% compatible to Awesomewm. It aims to work the same way that Sway does with i3. You are able to port your lua config files into it from Awesome. For Arch it is available for installation in the AUR. There is a rpm package available for Fedora and Nix package for Nixos. No deb package for Debian yet. You can built from source as well using Meson.
