Wayland Performance on Low End Hardware
juliawm (which is similar to dwl) recently had a commit saying they implement damage tracking, dwl didn't seem to implement it. These are all projects that seem fairly immature so maybe stick with sway or some other mature wlroots based window manager for now.

steamvr now working on DWL
If any of you have attempted to use SteamVR with DWL then you probably ran into the same issue I did. It doesn't have support for DRM leasing, so it can't actually show an image on the headset.

Can someone recommend a compositor to me?
Have you checked DWL which is DWM for Wayland? I haven't tried it yet so I can't say anything more.

Master and Stack setup
There's a python script called stacki3 that works both on i3wm and sway. There is also a dwm clone for wayland called dwl.

I actually use linux because its objectively better
I currently use dwl which is much, much lighter than i3 and suits my needs. On my laptop I just don't have a window manager of any kind installed, I can get by with lynx and the TTY.

Help needed with Wayland (riverwm and dwl) on Void Linux
I wanted to try two wayland compositors out (specifically dwl and river) and cannot for the life of me seem to get it working properly. I am currently doing this inside a VirtualBox vm.
