use Xfce with Wayland

kwin?

We switched from it a few releases back because it was too much in a VM.

What do you mean? Resources? Apps?

It was too heavy on resources.

xfce is definitely lighter but isn’t kde lighter than gnome?

When we say GNOME we are discussing gnome-shell which is supposed to be for limited hardware, but its 3D hard requirement needs some consideration as mentioned.

This is XFCE Wayland Roadmap:

There is no version yet decided to carry full wayland, But its work in progress e.g:
