What light-weight window manager do you recommend for wayland as xfce replacement? (piefed.social)

Heya,

I really like xfce as an out-of-the-box window manager to dump on any old machine. In my experience it makes a very noticeable difference compared to gnome, kde, and the likes performance wise. Sometimes you gotta fiddle with compositors to get rid of screen tearing, but that's about it.

Are there any you could recommend that are similar to xfce? The main priority is performance and out-of-the-box sane defaults and usability.

Thank you!

In KDE, you might also want to check that there aren't any useless desktop effects (Settings -> Window Management -> Desktop Effects).

One nice feature in KDE are KWin scripts. You can use them to turn KDE in to tiling window manager like environment. For example, Krohnkite is akin to tiling window manager, and Karousel is scrolling tiling window manager. You can install them from Settings -> Window Management -> KWin Scripts -> Get New Scripts.
