I’ve recently got Void Linux running on an old laptop of mine. I’ve temporarily installed Qtile so I can run a web browser, but my aim is to use a Wayland compositor. (I know Qtile can be run under Wayland. It doesn’t work on my end.)

I’ve narrowed my choices down to 6 options:

  • Weston
  • Wayfire
  • Enlightenment
  • Hikari
  • River
  • LabWC

Which do you think would be best?

    Try Sway. Format your usb stick with Ventoy2Disk and you’ll never re-format your usb stick ever agin. Just drag and drop Manjaro Sway and try it out in live mode to see what fine tuned Sway can offer for you. It uses wlroots.

      I already have Void Linux installed and I already use i3 on my other laptop. I’ll give Sway a go.

        The idea of trying Manjaro Sway (or any distro) in live mode is that you run it from the usb and don’t install anything onto your hardware. It’s fully functional desktop but no need to install/format your storage.
