       So sway on openSUSE is pretty amazing. I installed openSUSE via the netinstall iso, selected minimal desktop install, followed by installing sway.

       @fatboy I keep forgetting about Sway. I had a less than favorable Wayland experience a while back and just blocked it entirely. I should spin that up in VM.

       @noble @fatboy I guess YMMV, but I'm running Gnome and Sway on Wayland on two laptops, one half decent, the other a plain potato, both very succesully. :)

       @array @noble That sounds great. How's the memory usage? I think I might try that eventually. I'm not the biggest Gnome fan, but keen to try it with wayland

       @fatboy With vanilla Gnome in vanilla Arch, on a cold boot in my potato laptop it marks something over 400 Mb (according to top/Used or hop). Sway takes a bit less, depending on your setup.TBH, Gnome is way better, for me, in a laptop, mostly because trackpad gestures are awesome. And the more "vanilla" Gnome, the better IMHO. Sway is great for coding/work, as any other tiling WM, if you get the "knack" of it. :) @noble

       @fatboy So be my guess, I'm talking of a dual-core old Celeron with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB eMMC for storage. :P Yet I've managed to run antiX in way worse vegetables, like, some prehistoric monocore Centrino laptop with 512 MB RAM... And it could even launch and run Firefox, promise! XD@noble

       @array @noble oh nice! Antix is awesome. I have it on my beefy laptop. So what's a worse vegetable than a potato? Celery? Leek?

       @fatboy Uh, a cabbage? Boiled cabbage smells funny. XDAnd that's the nice part of antiX, you can run it nicely on that cabbage, but on real meat it just flies! Oh, and the CLI tools and preconf WMs, it's really an awesome distro. :)@noble
