there's nothing I can do about it (I wrote this up as an entry <a href="https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/WaylandWorries">here</a>). Things are also so fluid around Wayland
that there doesn't seem to be any point in trying to prepare for it;
I'm sure the situation around Wayland window managers and applications
will be much different in a few years.</p>
<p>(As Opk notes, people who use i3 and i3-alikes are already in good
shape, given Sway.)</p>

It is simple,fast no bells or whistles. Looks traditional like a windows XP (nice start menu). At least I have all the RAM for my work rather than desktop environment</p>

It may be a good few years away yet and perhaps fvwm will be ported.</p>
<p>I'd consider my desktop to be more boring now with i3 than it was years back when I used fvwm. Having things not change over time does a lot more for productivity than the latest eye-candy. Fortunately, there's sway on Wayland so I won't need to change much from i3.</p>
