Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.
Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?
I’ve played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.
Sway and foot work pretty decently. Might want to check them out.

stacking wm -> wayfire
tiling wm -> sway [corrected, i don’t know what was going through my mind]
terminal emulator -> alacritty or foot
Sway is a tiling wm and wayfire looks like a floating wm to me. I don’t know what a „stacking“ wm is, but afaik you can stack in sway.
I use sway and foot, which comes with sway.
foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they’re both good wayland software, thoughI’m pretty certain that foot is the default terminal for swaywm.
interesting.
the default config file is basically “Drew’s preferences watered down a bit for a general audience”
alacritty used to be Drew’s preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.Manjaro sway comes with foot. Maybe he/she meant that…
