- Simon Lees suggested an openSUSE ALP Product that would be Tumbleweed/Leap like but focused on one of the lighter desktops like XFCE. This seemed to be mostly to mitigate the developer/maintenance requirements in the absence of being able to draw from SUSE-developed Desktop packages as in the past [4]
I was part of Simon's team during Hackweek and helped him with the integration of Xfce, personally I would be more interested in continuing pursuing this initiative (codename Grassy Knoll). However I am not speaking on behalf of the other Xfce team maintainers, and they may choose to go a different route. I am not against exploring different approaches but at the moment I can't make additional efforts and contributions due to private life matters taking most of my time at the moment.
I am interested in producing stuff built on ALP as well, I just don't have any particularly concrete ideas yet. Personally though, I'm not interested in doing any desktop Linux related work that involves supporting X11. I have offered to Maurizio on the Xfce team to help out with getting Wayland Xfce going
Yes, there is wlsroot port of xfwm in development but it is not ready for prime time and it is unclear at the moment whether there will be some initial support for wayland in the next Xfce release. Neal, I appreciate the helping hand and happy to work together on this. Best, Maurizio
