I was so sad when I lost xmonad support on Ubuntu 24.

I think the closest thing that could get most of the way there is https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell/

You can get very close if not all the way with qtile if you accept using python instead of haskell.

I have Xmonad running well on Ubuntu 24 with Gnome Flashback

The packages I install are: xmonad libghc-xmonad-extras-dev gnome-flashback gnome-panel

(plus suckless-tools and xmobar)

That should give you a login option for "GNOME Flashback (Xmonad)"

I recall there were a couple of hacks necessary to show the Gnome Panel:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback root-background true

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback desktop false

and then the panels you can hide or remove per your preference

Could you elaborate?

I'm a long-time Xmonad user. Currently, I'm using Ubuntu 25.04, having upgraded to new non-LTS releases every six months, on two computers running Xmonad. I haven't run into any problems.

If you're not committed to Ubuntu, Xmonad still works great with X11 in the latest Debian Stable.
