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?
I’m running River on Void Linux and must admit that I’m really happy with its user experience. The development is quite transparent and the founder/main developer is well known in the Zig community, there’s also a talk about creating River by him.
As far as I know, Weston is not really meant for being used on a normal desktop (not really sure anymore).
Wayfire is awesome if you like animations, but it wouldn’t be my case personally.
Can’t say much about the others unfortunately.
