^ What does Arch taste like? Chalky?

Thought I'd make a screenshot of the comparisons - all very nice. Counter-clockwise from the top right, - Jellybeans, Gruvbox, Hybrid. My terminal is urxvt with gruvbox colors.

It's the future, I've tasted it

Use sway then.

A lot higher mem than you usually post wink

Questions:
What wm is that? Surely it isn't sway?
Would I taste the difference if I ran it on a VM or should I try it on bare metal? I have in my head that using wayland in a VM and having it passed through X would sorta negate the flavor.

I tried it out but sway-git is unstable for me atm.

Plain ol' Weston works though smile

@woodape: it's Wayland running the Weston window manager (compositor), see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wayland

I think you would need a bare metal install or a GPU passthrough to see all the compositing benefits.

The memory usage is high because I have XMonad/xmobar with Firefox running in TTY1 and that Wayland/Weston desktop running in TTY2 glasses

The OpenBSD ports tree has been locked in preparation for the 5.9 release in April.
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=14 … 431064&w=2

Seems rock solid on my ThinkPad X201 but iwn(4) is a bit flakey, I will have to investigate.

EDIT: Fiddled with the pf(4) settings and it seems to have fixed it (ie, it was PEBKAC).

htop 2.0 now works on OpenBSD:

This OS does seem to be exceptionally light, check out the RAM usage & processor overhead smile

Yup. My virtual wayland/weston attempts didn't turned out very good. It seems metal is the way to go.

I have XMonad/xmobar with Firefox running in TTY1 and that Wayland/Weston desktop running in TTY2

Both X and wayland running in different ttys. Interesting approach. Never thought of such a thing. Thanks for the brave tips, HoaS.
