    I think you’ll be surprised with wayland’s results. I’ve used it in 32 bit machines older than that and had both great and terrible experiences, so it depends on hardware. Thinkpads I imagine all are well supported

    EDIT: actually, I just remembered I used to have Sway on FreeBSD on a Thinkpad X61, and it worked great

      oh that’s good to hear, i might give wayland a try, hell i can also test on a 32 bit machine that i installed OpenBSD to (haven’t really used it since)

      do you happen to remember which CPU you were running? how was the performance, these R61s are kinda maxed out (regional government really likes to flaunt it’s money sometimes)

      i wonder if niri would work on these, my arm64 chromebook flies with niri!
