@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. 馃槃 路 1 year 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 路 1 year 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? 路 1 year ago
