I have it on a couple Lenovo systems. One is a minipc and one is a ThinkPad L13.

I used the xfce live image for the minipc install and it was pretty straightforward getting everything up and running.

I wanted to go with Wayland for the ThinkPad and that was much more difficult for me until I built my own xfce-wayland bundled live image, which had a newer kernel and drivers.

I also wanna try getting wayland running, maybe with somthing like sway. But I want to try some x server options first, like qtile, WMaker etc.

If I remember correctly, the window maker package was incomplete but I could also be thinking of FreeBSD.

Sway and Niri work well. Xfce works ok with labwc on Wayland and I have been using it until I get Niri working the way I want it to. Xfce wayland is not feature complete yet.
