Hey I am in no way an expert and can’t test it right now, but on their github they say "Light-weight system monitor for X, Wayland, and other things, too ". Does it not work on wayland?
For me it was “what else don’t I need on here?” from the start tbh :3 though I very much did not like the workflow of windows, so being able to nuke all the features that were similar that I found useless was like a sigh of relief since it was like getting rid of annoying clutter in a hoarder’s house lol
Now I basically only have my panel/bar thing on the left of the main display with the time, app tray (cause some apps need it to shut down and stuff lol), wifi, settings/power off, kde connect, and the blue light filter… though tbh im considering getting rid of the settings icon from there too
Yeah there’s just too much graphical stuff I need for me to go full CLI lol… plus for a lot of stuff I prefer being able to just click a button and have it done rather than typing in a full command :3
TWMs are fun tho :3… I’ve tried a bunch including both i3 and bspwm lol
Almost there already tbh :3… if I didn’t need a clock or notifications, then I may have gone to just having my whole desktop be the wallpaper and nothing else lol
Now if only I could disable all the UI I don’t like in all the apps I need too lol
I am currently in the midst of messing around with hyprland for peak minimalism, but honestly I prefer having a full DE, messing around with config files is kinda frustrating when I want to just do 1 little thing… and oftentimes it’s also hard to get the configs exactly how I want (probably gonna go to COSMIC when it comes out :3… I tried the alpha and it’s the best tiling experience out there imo, plus it has decent customization in terms of removing all the little icons I don’t need for the most part :3… though I’d like to be able to remove the window close button too since we already can do minimize/maximize :3… and preferably remove the whole window top bar)
Hyprland is not very “minimalistic”. If you’re looking for a tiling Wayland compositor that’s minimal, I can’t recommend River enough. I’m aware that the suckless people have also tried making their own Wayland compositors but I’ve never tried them. River isn’t suckless but it is still very lightweight and doesn’t have all the flashy features Hyprland does.
Eh I tried a bunch of TWMs already, and I like hyprland :p.
I know there are more minimal things like ratpoison or whatever if I wanted that, but for the GUI I want hyprland does what I want fine enough
Also the entire thing for me is basically temporary anyway, so it’s whatevs
Im like the opposite of that lol :3 always looking for stuff I can remove from my desktop

I do love removing features from things lol :3… like my browser which I disabled the top bar and tabs on
I’m sure I’ll get there, but it’s all new to me right now, so the temptation to add a bunch of nonsense is real…
Absolutely do not checkout “conky” and under no circumstances search for “conky themes” in image search. A program for the utterly deranged
Uh oh.
I love my conky system monitor. But yes, I am utterly deranged.
edit: answered to the wrong reply, sorry. But: me too, to both of those!
That is not a Wayland application

Herbstluftwm or bspwm or i3.
Remove all the things.
I’m so close to removing X and using only a console, except
Edit in which Sxan discovers þat double-vertical-bars in piefed comments turns inline text into “spoiler” text. Fixed.

One day, after years of chipping away small, useless details, your interface will finally be a blank screen. Flawless.

well, isn’t that a sign that you have installed too much in the first place? :D
Ikr? Desktop enviroment bloat :3
