Noctalia will soon release v5, which is a complete rewrite in C++, which makes it even more appealing if you care about the performance.

  Yes, I'm on the beta of v5 and it works flawlessly

  DMS | super heavyweight | sluggish | lots of eye candy, GUI configurable Noctalia | welterweight | fast | professional look, GUI configurable Waybar | lightweight | fast | minimal, DIY theming, hand configured swaybar | flyweight | blazingly fast | ultra minimalist, hand configured Noctalia uses about 70MB more RAM, and a little more CPU than Waybar. No brainer.

    With v5 I wouldn't be surprised if they can even slim it down more than waybar. No dependency to worry about unlike waybar with gtk core.

      If you consider the extras built into noctalia: notifications, screen lock (i think), wallpaper daemon .... daemons you have to install/configure piecemeal, noctalia is already in the ballpark of a waybar-based setup.
