Looking for advice on compositors for X11 (for i3wm)

Hi, I use the i3 window manager on my Rocky. People online recommend using Picom with it, but it’s not available in Rocky’s repositories.

I wanted to ask what are my options here? Are there any alternatives? Should I just build Picom?

Rocky as a enterprise operation system is a very reduced OS in terms of choice. You better try fedora for a workstation. This situation will be more difficult in the future (next major release).
