Which compositor?

I've recently got Void Linux running on an old laptop of mine. I've temporarily installed Qtile so I can run a web browser, but my aim is to use a Wayland compositor. (I know Qtile can be run under Wayland. It doesn't work on my end.)

I've narrowed my choices down to 6 options:

  • Weston
  • Wayfire
  • Enlightenment
  • Hikari
  • River
  • LabWC

Which do you think would be best?

  • I'm running River on Void Linux and must admit that I'm really happy with its user experience. The development is quite transparent and the founder/main developer is well known in the Zig community, there's also a talk about creating River by him.

    As far as I know, Weston is not really meant for being used on a normal desktop (not really sure anymore).

    Wayfire is awesome if you like animations, but it wouldn't be my case personally.

    Can't say much about the others unfortunately.
