I'm (slowly) starting to migrate all my systems from Debian to Void. I'm not passionate about Wayland per se, but I understand it is where future development will be going so I'd like to move in that direction. But I'm having hit-or-miss luck getting going.

In practice, I'm still on X11 in most cases because that works out of the box, whereas Wayland XFCE sessions just die and fall back to lightdm.

Fellow Void-users, are you running Wayland? If so, is it working well for you?

Not really using void anymore atm, but when i did wayland worked fine for me. In particular i really like River, probably my favorite wayland compositor atm. I think i recently heard that mangowc is also in the void repo now? That's a cool project as well.
