>>9295weston is a proof of concept and will never be usable as a real desktop
now compare something that is somewhat usable, like sway, to i3
or dwl to dwm
>>9291you don't have to install ALL of X11 to use it you know
having a fully fledged WM/DE using gayland will eat up at least a gig of ram, let alone all the bullshit mental illness it needs to get basic shit like audio, screen capture or screen sharing, key remapping, monitor modes (kek you can't do custom modelines either, no interlacing for you chud), etc etc...
in the end, X11 will be lighter than gayland, have better performance, and be more usable.
