▲ 127 ▼ Minimal Wayland Software? (mander.xyz) submitted 3 years ago by SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz to c/linux@lemmy.ml 41 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.
