  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    Extreme shortage of desktop environments that support Wayland. I don't want to use either Gnome or KDE, I'm currently using LXQt with i3wm.

    If you like i3, sway is a drop in replacement for it that uses wayland. I'm not sure if you could make LXQt work with it but it's worth a shot

    You cannot, no desktop environment except Gnome and KDE has Wayland support beyond experimental status.

    If I was content with running no desktop environment at all, I could already do that on Xorg.

    IT IS NOT lmao, sway even complains that my i3 keybinds are wrong, those same keybinds work perfectly on i3.

    Isn't sway an decent alternative to i3?

    Hyprland is pretty sweet, to be honest.
