I want to balance looks and performance.
Give MaomaoWM a shot it’s like dwl, river, hyprland all rolled into one and is very light on resources.
Sway is quite a safe bet. SwayFX if you want rounded corners, shadows, or blurring.
ok. Guess i’m switching from hyprland to sway.
Ah, well SwayFX doesn’t have animations. Use it if you like (I do), but Hyprland does have more features.
I’ve found Hyprland to be more stable and performant than Sway, but I haven’t used Sway since January. As the other commenter said, it also has more features. You could definitely turn off enough Hyprland features to get a more Sway-like experience visually.
I’ve been liking KDE Plasma a bit too much. Currently using it for everything.
Hyprland
Kwin
no stability is not a concern? a great many choices lay ahead!
I cross-posted to Window Managers. You can ask anything there.
:)
I find River to be the fastest but Sway would be the best balanced option, and most similar to Hyprland than River.
It’s be useful if you linked the post. I can’t find it.
That is weird it should show that it is cross-posted.
