Yes, that's the labwc live session with waybar. Xfce4-terminal, thunar, firefox-esr, geany, and some Wayland apps I've never heard of. I think sway is also an option, but I didn't get that far.

^Thanks, @Colonel Panic, omegalinux with lxde    on a severely disabled ThinkPad.
Don't forget to include non-free software when installing, otherwise *ubuntu* will be a mess.

Waydog with sway.
Both labwc and sway use the waybar and fuzzel. Colors and images are impressive as always.

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

The Trixie version of Lilidog has just been released and has appeared in Distrowatch's listings, and I look forward to giving it a try soon.

And there is a new one; Waydog; labwc compositor -

Thanks for that suggestion, but I'm in no hurry to move on from X11 at the moment (maybe I should start a thread about this).

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

The latest version of Omega (3.40 has just been released. Here's the changelog;

    Rebuilt from scratch, and so far i tested it feels more stable.
    Finaly figured out how to fix Pipewire (so we got rid of pulseaudio).
    Added full bluetooth support.
    Updated fastfetch to 2.58.0.
    Remove every SINGLE lubuntu/qt/lxqt mention i ever know
    Updated packages as of 12 february 2026.
    Updated Loc-OS kernel to 6.1.161-loc-os (made by Nico, aalways shout out to him)
    1374 packages on installed environment aprox.

I haven't downloaded this new version but I have done a standard (Ubuntu) update on my present one, and also added Wine, Opera for a second browser, Neovim for text editing and Softmaker Free Office (since Omega doesn't come with an office suite), and it's all working well.
