My only gripe is that these newer wm's require hardware acceleration. It's hard to try them out in a VM, and committing to a hardware install is a big ask for anyone that's been using something else for a while.
good point, but I still do a lot of work in VMs, that's where most of my workload is. But for my other laptop without VMs I could try that, thanks.
It's not really a commitment though. I have like six WMs installed I can switch between.
then you'll have to stop using your existing system. and yes, it's too short-lived, I'd want like a week of usage normally. I can see the videos and screenshot to know what it looks like, I want to see how buggy it is, and how hard it is to manage things with it.
You don't have to remove other WMs to try a new one. Most login managers will let you choose at login.
