I wanted to get a feel for everyone’s thoughts on desktop environments (or window managers if you don’t use a DE). I’m new to Lemmy, so apologies if this is too low-effort a post.

Personally I’m running KDE on my main computer, but I have an Arch virtual machine I use for more experimentation. That VM has seen KDE, i3, and will probably see hyprland at some point soon

      I’ve seen people mention Sway every once in a while. What’s the benefit over i3 if you don’t mind me asking?

        it comes down to wayland, i3 only supports Xorg, sway only supports wayland.

        as far as features goes sway was built to be pretty much a drop in replacement for i3 with a few improvements.
