@nostupidquestions What’s up with the hyprland hype?
Is it lighter than lxde/lxqt/xfce?

    hyprland has useful features for a tiling compositor, like a special container you can toggle that goes in front of your workspace and it’s easy to customise and set up.

    However, i think wayfire, even though much harder to set up (it needs a proper config and some helper apps or it’s just empty and you can’t even launch anything), has cooler effects and has a simple tiling plugin.

    Also Gnome/mutter with the Forge extension is better than both, because you can optionally use just the mouse to drag windows at the title bar and drop them in a tiling frame of your choice. This is very helpful when your left hand is full of cheeto dust etc… Gnome also has the extensions Burn My Windows, Focus, Desktop Cube and Dash to Panel which get you cool effects as well. It also has a Tweaks tool and the extension Just Perfection, which give you additional customization options. Gnome is very easy to set up and usable OOTB, even though not fine tuned. Also it is still backwards compatible to X11, in case you need that one app that looks crap in wayland (looking at you, Java)
