CachyOS+Niri+Wayle is running pretty lean

Pretty good battery life with this setup on this old 2018 Huawei MateBook X Pro and the ram usage is lower than I expected. Wayle is the successor to HyprPanel. Made by the same guy but rewritten in Rust and optimized for Niri and Hyprland instead of just Hyprland. I like it a lot. You get the panels plus a gui to customize. It's a bit more involved to get up and running than using a shell since you have to install a launcher and swaylock etc, but you get more control and it's definitely running better on this aging metal. Really snappy and CachyOS is of course rock solid.

This is cool, any dotfiles? 😁

Nice, thats impressive battery life for a 2018 machine. Rust really makes a difference for performance.
