    Count me as another huge fan and longtime user of openbox. The functionality I get from my desktop is insane, as is the speed and reliability.

    Openbox was great. I learned Linux using fluxbox, and moved over to openbox down the track because it was familiar. I stayed with it until about 2015 I think.

    Labwc could be a similar wayland experience (although it’s not their mission statement), but I haven’t been able to try it yet.

    I use an distro called ‘Bunsen Labs’, which was created as a successor to CrunchBang Linux when maintenance of that distro ceased. It uses OpenBox as the WM, and works well for an old laptop and for random VMs I spin up to test things (my test Lemmy instance runs on it).
