Fellas,
I’ve been using my current setup on NixOS (Xfce + i3) for about a month now—it’s totally great, but I’ve got some minor things that bother me just a little bit, and I want to see if Wayland does anything for me. I like my combination of a lightweight desktop and tiling windows, so I thought maybe I could do something like MATE + Sway?
Does anyone run anything like this? MATE seems pretty close to Xfce, right?
Happy to hear any thoughts.
Cheers!
Both are not ready. LXQt will be soon though.
+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it
It doesn’t support Wayland.
XFCE on Wayland is solid?
Aha, I see, thank you
LXQt is already on Qt 6.6 (?) which means native wayland-first support.
They are not fully done but that will only be a month or so.
Until then, I dont know really? Will be great!
Meanwhile MATE and XFCE are on GTK3? Which is not perfectly wayland ready afaik.
