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 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.

thanks for the correction, i don’t what i was thinking while writing that. i guess i couldn’t decide floating or stacking for wayfire so the whole thing broke down :)
