Just switched to Xlibre 25.1.1 from using Wayland since 2022.

The performance is a lot better on Xlibre than on Wayland and especially much better than Xorg (which is plagued by mouse lag and tearing)

In my experience it doesn't seem like metux is a bad dev. He has done what the Xorg devs said they couldn't do.

I see. Well for me too, Xorg offered all the features I need and is still more well supported than Wayland in some areas, but on my system Wayland has so much better performance. On Xorg I was having mouse lags, on Wayland it's just smooth.

I think this description describes it very well. This is also how I remember it from back in the 2000's when I tried to use it.

It is indeed a lightweight DE.

Have you tested the Wayland implementation of Enlightenment?

@Deckweiss
Interesting. I should check it out. Thanks for the suggestion

I didn't know about that feature in Windows 11 even though I use it on my work laptop but I guess it's because I only use the laptop's screen when I work ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Deckweiss
Makes sense. I think I would also miss some if I switched.

Has anyone tried the #Enlightenment DE for #Linux in the recent years?

How was the experience?
