Linux, Hyprland (wayland), working on a DE called Mist based on it (and a distro that uses it by default)
Cinnamon, it's the default on Mint and it's good enough that I can't be arsed to change it
Never change a running system
kde :3
both kde and hyprland at the minute
N/A
openbox
Wayland
Cool! I've been wanting to try out some other ones, actually. I was helping my friend on Mastodon customize hers the other day. I think she solved her problem.
My original question was about desktop environments like KDE, GNOME, and Xfce, or if used independently of a DE, window managers like i3, bspwm, Openbox, and IceWM. I asked "which compositor" because I thought "Wayland" was a sassy answer and GNOME, KDE, sway, etc include "Wayland compositors" equivalent to window managers.
Wayland is just a layer underlying various desktop environments and window managers, positioning windows and doing rendering. GNOME, KDE, and the window manager Sway all use it.
Ah. Yeah, GNOME is the desktop environment, and Wayland is the display server it uses.
Sorry for confusing you btw
It's OK. I have only been using Linux since 2019, so there are still some terms I'm getting used to.
My desktop environment is made of solid oak wood.
I use SwayWM!
