Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.
Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?
I’ve played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.
I use hyprland and kitty on my modern desktop and my 12 year old i3 laptop.
If you want to have a really minimal Wayland compositor take a look at dwl
Sway and foot work pretty decently. Might want to check them out.

In case you’re already using emacs I wouldn’t bother with a separate pdf viewer - pdf-tools for emacs is imo the best PDF viewer nowadays available on linux.
imv looks good, thanks for the link
I’m a bit confused, I left Reddit to escape emacs users…should I be on kbin instead?
imv is the absolute best

I’m personally fond of Sway and Kitty
Please don’t blame the lack of popularity, Vivarium works and its feature complete. The dev answers to the recent github issues.
i3-like WMs are underfeatured and Hyprland is less minimal than Vivarium.
I like puppy linux as a distro for old laptop refurb, starts lean and mean, allowing older laptops to recapture some of their former glory.
Void is my plan. I went with Fedora last time as I couldn’t be bothered setting up Void properly and Fedora was the only distro with a generic kernel that seemed old mac trackapd/keyboard friendly at time. I’ve not tried Puppy for a long time, I tend to opt for AntiX or Porteus in that kinda area.
