       So, I say I use #Wayland all the time, and that X11 is dead, or dying.And while the second part of that statement is a fact, it doesn’t mean Wayland is ready for everyone right now, so I decided to take a look at the current state of Wayland support, between desktops, apps, drivers, and what the protocol still doesn’t support:#Linux #OpenSourcehttps://youtu.be/xlvusAuDDZ0

       @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social As much as I wish I could switch to wayland, the thing that ultimately turns me off is the lack of a lightweight desktop environment. The thing between a window manager such as River and Sway and a full desktop like Gnome or KDE.

       @charadon @thelinuxEXP the one that I’m looking at, which has a lot of potential for #wayland support is #lxqt https://www.phoronix.com/news/LXQt-1.2-Released

       @lil5@fosstodon.org @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social Xfce and MATE have been making pretty good strides too in wayland support, but it'll probably be a few years before it's even half usable =(

       @charadon @thelinuxEXP Bit of a late reply, but do try labwc if you haven't already, it's a wlroots-based compositor but seemingly simpler in configuration than river/sway. https://labwc.github.io/
