Niri

There are new options like Hyprland and Niri that are quite lightweight and innovative.

go niri instead of hyprland

Parent context: Also Niri is a newer window manager that is taking off, wayland based, and some distros are now offering it (like PikaOS). But it'll be rougher than others. Reply: Niri is in like 50 different package managers (and no, it's not "rougher than others". I actually found it to be more polished ootb than xfce or kde plasma)

Im using niri [and Noctalia] with endeavor OS. Avoid KDE as its too heavy for ur device Niri is the WM

Running Fedora 44 on a 2012 MacBook Air with a bare niri/Wayland setup — no DE.

I tested Niri and it worked great.

OP if you want to get funky with the customization you might look into niri (https://github.com/niri-wm/niri), but maybe dont get into it too soon, its quite a jump in complexity.

PikaOS and you choose Sway, Hyprland or Niri... Niri is my favourite

I use niri as tiling-scrolling wm after also using sway. Would not switch back again. Tiling-scrolling is great and you can also create custom effects etc...
