Re: BunsenLabs Lithium will stay with X

^Debian does not default to any window managing system - that's up to the individual desktops to decide. I'm pretty sure that XFCE, for example, won't be moving to Wayland all that soon, but Gnome already has, and KDE following (according to a quick bit of websearching).

Enlightenment will run on Wayland (E22 or higher) - but Wayland support has to be compiled in. Not sure what's in the Debian repos these days, but this 3rd party repo provides Enlightenment with Wayland support for the adventurous. Tried it a while back, bit of a resource hog; but it didn't crash.

Any of the other window managers for Wayland in the repos? Weston is there, of course, is sway?

@Packrat I am sure there's rumors a project is out there to port Openbox to Wayland as well.

@Packrat I am sure there's rumors a project is out there to port Openbox to Wayland as well.

this has been discussed before on these forums.
here's the thread, start at page 3.
WayBox doesn't seem to be abandoned, but there surely isn't much activity. none of the 4 forks look more active.
