    For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.

      Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc

        As I typed my comment, I realised someone would correct me with hyperspecific linux terminology. But I support your correction good sir.

        No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs

        Also, there’s no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm
