Unifi devices aren't all that

I've had two UAP AC AP Lite access points for 8 years now. After fooling with WiFi for so long before, Unifi was just a "set and forget" kind of solution.

Two days ago, the repo signature for the Debian unifi network controller became a pain point for apt, or apt started not being OK with it, or whatever.

Since I was on the fence about putting openwrt on these for a while, I took it as a sign and finally did it.

No more roaming problems, strong signal, responsive performance, wtf??... I'm not buying any more ubiquiti overpriced garbage. If it won't run an open platform like openwrt, it's not going into my infra.

That is all.

Xfce alternatives in a Wayland world

I have been using xfce since 2006 and still do.

However, I'm increasingly concerned that xfce will not "make the cut" to Wayland, or that there just isn't enough dev momentum to get th e xfce stack into a working state under Wayland.

Are there any wayland-compatible DE/compositor/windowing systems that will:

  • allow me to setup my floating window metaphor the way I want
  • have the same "stay out of the way" philosophy

Are any other xfce users here thinking this also?

I said "floating window metaphor", but I actually don't mind trying a tiling compositor like sway, all suggestions are welcome here, as well as any discussion on this topic of "what next?"
