Wayland Desktop Environment?

Hi, I'm returning to Linux desktop after 3 and 1/2 years (I was using OpenBox at that time). Is anyone using a Wayland desktop environment and finding it satisfactory to the extent that they recommend it over a traditional X11 DE?

I have no idea, however I would point to an Openbox fork for Wayland which is being developped, I keep my eyes on it thinking some day, Wayland will be the most used over Xorg (search for wizbright/waybox at Github)

Re: Wayland Desktop Environment?

Gnome & KDE are now fully Wayland as are about a dozen other desktops including, Sway, Hyprland, Labwc, amongst others.

Very interesting indeed! I just had a glance at the description in the Gihub project, it looks very promising!!! In my bookmarks now, and thank you for the information!
