I second the sway suggestion.
]]>I stumbled over this thread, because i want to try Wayland, but not with "too fat for my tiny box" gnome. I need something lightweight.
Has anybody got it working, maybe LXQT on Wayland?
That only if you want a DE, you could just go WM purist with something like sway for example. (it's like i3)
But that's up to your tastes.
In any case this thread originally was is reaaaally old and got necrobumped...don't know how to feel for this one.
The current state of Wayland is quite different on how it was back them I guess. (I surely cannot confirm)
...
Yeah this is not productive, the topic at hand is finished, you should post a new topic, but I believe it would be a TGN because of being akin to "product recommendation request".
And "finished" because the wiki already gives this a very decent coverage.
EDIT: I see that this is also about even other display servers&protocols...this thread feels hijacked, quite an oversight from me.

I have no idea how usable it is, but it appears to be actively developed, see https://arcan-fe.com/
]]>I don't know why you get so excited over old topics, but this isn't a technical support subforum so there's no need for a lock.
Bumping for the sake of necrobumping though, will get you banned. If you have nothing to contribute to the topic, leave it be.
It doesn't make any sense to me that "the state of Xorg alternatives on Linux" is an "old topic". I'm trying Wayland and I wanted to follow up with the participants of this thread. Contacting them each or @'ing them outside of this thread seemed inefficient/ineffective/not how forums work everywhere else on the web. Does this really warrant threatening a ban?

]]>@pjezek: I've been following this pretty close and it seems like there's actual progress being made, which is always a bonus in this spectra where most seem undeveloped or dying projects. Looking forward to jumps in the Radeon support as my new laptop is going to be housing an ATI card. Thanks for the link, by the way, I should probably add it to my first post for easier referencing.
]]>It's underneath, which means it works without an x-server running, but (multiple actually) x-servers can run on top of wayland.
Here's a screenshot from krh:

Q: Does NVIDIA have any intentions to provide Kernel-based Mode-Setting support?
Nothing definite, no, but we do get a lot of requests for it and it is something I hope we can pursue in the future.
Hopefully NVIDIA will get bored of just making bugfixes for vdpau and will actually give us KMS.
Nvidia already provides most of KMS's features, except for flicker free boot with full resolution terminal and I guess kernel space based powersaving.
