I'm (slowly) starting to migrate all my systems from Debian to Void. I'm not passionate about Wayland per se, but I understand it is where future development will be going so I'd like to move in that direction. But I'm having hit-or-miss luck getting going. In practice, I'm still on X11 in most cases because that works out of the box, whereas Wayland XFCE sessions just die and fall back to lightdm. Fellow Void-users, are you running Wayland? If so, is it working well for you? |

Not really using void anymore atm, but when i did wayland worked fine for me. In particular i really like River, probably my favorite wayland compositor atm. I think i recently heard that mangowc is also in the void repo now? That's a cool project as well. |

i used sway a couple years back to test and i had no issues back then. As far as i know XFCE is starting to experiment with wayland recently so its normal for bugs to appear. I would use a DE with more mature wayland integration like Plasma or Gnome. I have a laptop with Gnome and no issues whatsoever |

XFCE's had mainline Wayland support since 4.20 (well, experimentally anyway) for over a year now. |

For four years, swaywm with void was my daily driver. No problem at all. I was even using nvidia gpu. |

Hi, yeah, I moved from arch Linux to void a while back and not had any real significant issues with Wayland. Although I was on Wayland on arch to. I moved to Wayland 2 years ago in arch, then moved to void 6 months ago. I've always been minimal in terms of desktops though. Haven't run a full de on my main pc in over 10 years. I was openbox on x11, then when I moved to Wayland, tried hyprland for a few weeks before settling on sway. I have had to adapt as x11 is not Wayland. But I haven't had any breaking issues. I don't use a DM either. |
