Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.
Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?
I’ve played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.
I use sway wm with the foot terminal emulator. If you do not like manual tiling I have heard good things about river wm.
Try RedoxOS: https://www.redox-os.org/faq/
If you’re into developing or willing to learn Rust, it can even offer you a paid summerjob. RedoxOS runs even on Pentium III.
Labwc is really a decent window manager that can pretty much be used on its own without a panel (I think). I think foot is pretty fast, but I just use gnome console, because I’m a savage.
I am using kde with wayland. Works pretty well. Even with nvidia 3080.
Please don’t blame the lack of popularity, Vivarium works and its feature complete. The dev answers to the recent github issues.
i3-like WMs are underfeatured and Hyprland is less minimal than Vivarium.
Thanks, looks cool.
I find i3 & dwm a bit much out of the box and need to remove titles, borders & hide the status bar. Hyprland had a lot going on, will check out Vivarium.
