    For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.

      Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc

        No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs

        Also, there’s no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm
