No sooner then I posted I ran across this:

Once I am forced to use Wayland, hopefully that will still be active :)
Yes, that is what people keep saying, but isn't sway a Tiling Window Manager ? I do not like Tiling, if something that works exactly like cwm, then I would not be too concerned about Wayland.
So far, the only choices for Wayland seems to be GMOME3, KDE, soon XFCE, the rest are tiling like sway. I just heard about Hyprland, which is also tiling.
So seems for me and I am sure others, the selection is very limited.
Wayland requires a Desktop Environment from what I can see. There is Sway, but that is a tiling environment, but I know little about that. So for "floating windows", all there is GNOME3, KDE and Enlightenment. DE are heavy to begin with, cwm on X is very lite on resources.
This I am not sure about, but from what I have read, all window processing (rendering) needs to be done by the "Widow manager". In X you just call functions.
It is nice they are trying to port Wayland. But I really hope Wayland does not replace xenocara. Running Wayland on old hardware will be rather hard.
A couple:
-
CRC Errors when restoring 9-track tapes (the large reels) on a mini at work.
-
A manager not knowing a removable 256meg Disk Pack suffered a heard crash. So he mounted it on 4 or 5 production drives, destroying the hardware. He did this to test if the Disk pack was OK. This caused almost a month of agony while we went looking for hardware to replace the drives. This caused manufacturing to slow down since inventory could not be ordered.
I can almost laugh now :)

geezes, in today's political environment that "scandal" would not even hit the top ten :)
How much memory. Also are you waiting for the kernel relink to complete ?
I have OpenBSD 7.3 on a R51e and it works fine, zippy considering. But of course, Firefox is a no go . It has 2gig memory, but I always wait for the relink to complete :)
Normally I would say anything over 10 years old. But due to how 10 year old computers are fully useable, I am thinking anything with 1 core. Maybe in a few years it could be ones without a TMP2 :)
The list are all the big banks, good luck with the next bond sale, I would not be surprise of OK will need to pay a bit more interest due to cutting out all these banks.
