Ah, just skip DEs altogether and setup Openbox with a minimal panel like tint2. It’s not for Wayland — there might be an alternative, light window manager for that, I wouldn’t know.

That’s the kind of reassurance I needed to go ahead. Thanks!
Cool, cool. Will give it a shot when I have a couple hours to install it 👍 Thanks for your help!
One followup question, might be out of your ballpark since you’re happily using Iodé: in their FAQ, they answer the question “Can I uninstall iodéOS and go back to Google Android?” with
Yes you can. Please follow this link [to their installation page 🤔] for iodéOS uninstallation.
Caution : uninstalling iodéOS requires coding skills.
I hope those “coding skills” aren’t more involved than being able to run a couple of adb
and fastboot
commands. Have you seen anything to the contrary, in support forums and similar?
to be clear, I’m not “going back to Google Android”, but I might get adventurous with other custom ROMs.
Uh, okay. Weird use of “uninstallable”, but this is definitely good to hear! I was looking at Calyx that has a suite of apps that will just always be stored on your device whether you install them or not. Glad this isn’t that sort of situation 🙂
Oh, good one! I love a good comparison table, and this one I didn’t know of!
Yeah, I’ve been on LOS/mG for a few years. Sorry if I didn’t make it clear. I’m just wondering if Iodé is a decent replacement or they have too opinionated a setup…
I don’t have anywhere near your experience, but the key points (customizable, no bloat, good wiki) all scream Arch, as you predicted 🙂
Several times a week I too download all the Linux ISOs, and I will have a look at ProtonVPN 👍
Interesting! At some point I’ll probably switch to Wayland, so it’s good to hear there are minimalist solutions developed 👍
