For all worried check out xfce. It works, is light, is customizable, has gtk responsiveness (I find Qt click and drag and drop downs odd) Only downside maybe is no Wayland support yet.

with 4.20, there is experimental wayland support for almost all xfce4 applications. I've used it and didn't even face a single crash. So, it's not far away.

  great! Do you feel is a "good" change? does using a DE with wayland feels better or different? not talking about technical advantages...

    i don't see any change other than display colours and font looking more crispy. i use computer mostly for watching and programming. some very light FOSS gaming(Luanti, STK).

Mate supports Wayland since Mate 1.28. See https://wiki.mate-desktop.org/developers-corner/wayland-meson/ https://wiki.mate-desktop.org/developers-corner/wayland-meso... Quote: > One of the most notable improvements is the enhanced support for Wayland, bringing us closer to a fully native MATE-Wayland experience. Several components have been updated to work seamlessly with Wayland, ensuring a more integrated and responsive desktop environment.

  My hardware doesn't work with X. Screen tearing. So im stuck with wayland, although I'd like to move to xfce when they support wayland

    Screen tearing has been fixed on X11 for a while: > xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --set TearFree on That works on AMD and Intel modesetting. There's something similar for nVidia. I haven't had a screen tearing issue in years on X11
