boredsquirrel,

I didnt know Windowses Window manager (DWM? Explorer?) had any fancy effects. It is boring as hell but also stable as hell.

yeah I dont know what the best minimal Wayland compositor is.

I am using KDE Plasma since I first tried it, but have separate drives with GNOME, COSMIC-Epoch, Cinnamon etc.

Also want to try LXQt (but it seems many of “their apps” like yarock or qpdfview are not packaged anymore?) and looking for the best Compositor here.

  • cosmic-comp: honestly I think soon the best. But pre-alpha, no selinux profile yet, and pulls in complete cosmic (packaging issue)
  • kwin: best currently, tons of needed features, but pulls in half of KDE and random other stuff
  • wayfire: probably nice? Pulls in also a lot of GTK stuff
  • labwc: no idea, probably the best minimal one, but as I never heard anything I suppose less good?
  • something louvre? No idea
  • mutter: likely just good for GNOME? Could be a good option, if they dont intentionally make stuff only work with GNOME
  • something that XFCE, Cinnamon, Budgie will produce

And that left out sway, niri, hyprland, river and other tiling WMs.
