    I ❤️ xfce, dying for Wayland. Wish I knew how to ninja together xfce Wayland. As most apps are now compatible.

            If I am not mistaken the GTS 450 should be more than powerful enough especially by Linux standards.

            A lot of Wayland compositors have a GLES 2.0 renderer which should be supported by ancient GPUs. If you try Vulkan based compositors you might be out of luck.

      Xfce is mostly used on older hardware. Dying to see how many times slower it’ll become on Wayland. I’m guessing 3x.

        Why should it be slower?

        In my experience, projects going to Wayland actually improves performance and system resource usage. I got around 200Mb RAM back, when I switched from Qtile X11 to Qtile Wayland. 900Mb on XOrg, 700Mb on Wayland. These are with the same configuration and the same programs being autostarted.

          Wayland does improve performance but only in some perspectives (for example, UI smoothness). In my case the negative impact looked like CPU overhead. It was easier to make the system stutter and some apps like Firefox worked more sluggishly. I suspect it’s because of how Wayland works fundamentally.

          EDIT: you know the society is doomed when it downvotes comments about personal experience.

            CPU overhead

            I highly doubt you can conjure up a Wayland compositor that consumes more than 1% of your CPU, even eye-candy nightmares like Hyprland will not have any significant CPU usage.

    IIRC, they expect to have it released in the first half of December if there are no issues or delays.

    Wanted to join the wallpaper contest but it has to be only and only through a Gitlab account, and the requeriments are rather limiting - and, specially, not a fan of contests that are decided by thumbs-up (or heart emojis, like in this case)
