@wolftivy Wayland tends to be lighter than X11, in my experience A lot of it is going to depend on what compositor you use, I imagine, but wlroots+sway seems to do pretty well on my box. It seems to have a much smaller dependency graph and total codebase than comparable X11 window managers (e.g., i3), which is always nice as well.

Nothing's ever going to beat tty+framebuffer, though, in terms of resource usage. 😄 · 2 years ago

wayland works for me better than x. i have monstly touch devices which works much smoother using wayland. · 2 years ago

wayland has somewhat less of a overhead and it runs wonderfully on my old laptop; as long as you don't have a NVIDIA GPU it should work wonders for you · 2 years ago

I'm strongly considering a no-X setup for my next computer. Can wayland run lighter than X or should I stick to tty and framebuffer? · 2 years ago
