Minimal Wayland Software? - Mander

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.

In case you’re already using emacs I wouldn’t bother with a separate pdf viewer - pdf-tools for emacs is imo the best PDF viewer nowadays available on linux.

imv looks good, thanks for the link

I’m a bit confused, I left Reddit to escape emacs users…should I be on kbin instead?
