    Does it run as well on old/underpowered hardware as IceWM?

    (I really only use IceWM on systems that would struggle with XFCE.)

      It's pretty lightweight, so yes, but it does use wlroots after all, so there's a limit

    Every Wayland compositor I could find is a tiling one: sway, river, Hyprland, dwl, niri. If you want windows that float and overlap with titlebars and a taskbar, the way IceWM does it, there's almost nothing. That is Steppewm

        I tried it but it was really a struggle to get like OSD or an actual good non-janky taskbar; all implementations are either buggy or cannot be as useful as i was hoping

        labwc is closer to Openbox; it doesn't ship a taskbar.
