Hi Nick et al, With Sxmo we're currently also moving towards wayland (we'll have to reinvent what the X in our name means then). We found that, especially on the Pinephone, the performance under Wayland is simply superior to that on X11. We settled on sway to replace dwm, as dwl still lacks the maturity we need and sway has that going for it. I agree it comes with maybe a few too many bells & whistles as we'd like. Though of course, by definition a wayland compositor has a considerably higher complexity than an X11 window manager anyway.
We will also keep supporting X and the suckless stack, but Wayland will become the default in the very near future for us. Unfortunately this means we had to look for comparable alternatives for the suckless software stack we've grown attached to. But fortunately there are people taking up wayland-focused initiatives with a similar philosophy. Thus far we have: dwm -> sway (granted, not the same thing) svkbd -> wvkbd (see https://github.com/jjsullivan5196/wvkbd/pull/2) st -> foot dmenu -> bemenu Regards, -- Maarten van Gompel proy...@anaproy.nl https://proycon.anaproy.nl https://github.com/proycon GnuPG key: 0x39FE11201A31555C XMPP: proy...@anaproy.nl Matrix: @proycon:matrix.anaproy.nl Telegram: proycon IRC: proycon (libera.chat + oftc) Mastodon: https://social.anaproy.nl/@proycon (@proy...@social.anaproy.nl) Twitter: https://twitter.com/proycon
