I’m (slowly) starting to migrate all my systems from Debian to Void. I’m not passionate about Wayland per se, but I understand it is where future development will be going so I’d like to move in that direction. But I’m having hit-or-miss luck getting going.
In practice, I’m still on X11 in most cases because that works out of the box, whereas Wayland XFCE sessions just die and fall back to lightdm.
Fellow Void-users, are you running Wayland? If so, is it working well for you?
XFCE’s had mainline Wayland support since 4.20 (well, experimentally anyway) for over a year now.
I’ve tinkered with it, with labwc, it’s pretty good. I haven’t checked back in to see if they’ve baked in a sensible set of defaults, I had to figure out the autostart and keybinds but it was mostly straightforward. Things like right-click on the desktop to open the menu, or blanking out window title bar click actions. The autostart mechanic was just a top-to-bottom shell script with some special parsing, kinda seemed like a step backwards to the monolithic init script days, but also refreshingly simple.
This is all commentary on labwc specifically (and not on Void but hopefully it’s still helpful), but it’s XFCE’s top recommendation and I believe the one that they’re testing with, so it’s likely to be the most supported moving forward.
