I'm on bspwm right now, but I've been thinking of switching to wayland (in particular, hyprland). I've got nothing against gnome BTW. I have a friend with one of those laptops that turns into a tablet by flipping the keyboard to the back, and he also says Gnome is the only DE that "just works" for touchscreen, even though he uses KDE on his main laptop and desktop.
How are things on wayland by the way? From what I understand, it has partial support for running X11 apps, right? Do you use any X11 apps, or were you able to find wayland-native counterparts for everything?
I've heard this comparison a lot, though I don't know what it means, since I've never used BSD haha. Maybe I should give BSD a try sometime.
Amen to that!
Most of the time, you wouldn't even notice if an app is using xwayland or native wayland... except for apps written with electron/chromium embedded framework (chromium, steam client, spotify, vscode, etc). They're pretty glitchy on xwayland so you'll have to figure out if they accept arguments to use wayland natively, but not all of them support wayland natively yet.
That's good to hear. I try to avoid electron apps (I just use the website version instead), but thanks for the tip anyway!
