I am expecting my MNT Reform Next laptop to show up some time in October or November. For reasons it has to run Debian (mostly hardware + driver support reasons).
I am wondering what I will be left to run for a windowing environment if Gnome and KDE both end up as projects I do not want to support.
(I do have experience with Linux so I don’t necessarily need something beginner-friendly)
