I have been using xfce since 2006 and still do.
However, I’m increasingly concerned that xfce will not “make the cut” to Wayland, or that there just isn’t enough dev momentum to get th e xfce stack into a working state under Wayland.
Are there any wayland-compatible DE/compositor/windowing systems that will:
- allow me to setup my floating window metaphor the way I want
- have the same “stay out of the way” philosophy
Are any other xfce users here thinking this also?
I said “floating window metaphor”, but I actually don’t mind trying a tiling compositor like sway, all suggestions are welcome here, as well as any discussion on this topic of “what next?”


Just keep using Xorg. Wayland is still not ready enough that something like XFCE will do a complete drop.
