If you go with Wayland, use Hyprland. It’s pretty easy to find configs for Hyprland on github and/or tutorials on YouTube. I watched a few YouTube tutorials to get an understanding of how it works and then adjusted the base config to my liking.

If you’re using x11, there are more window manager options to choose from. I have no recommendations there, but I know i3, DWM, bwspm, and openbox are all popular and should have tutorials and configs readily available to work from.

Agree.

I’m running Asahi on a Mac mini. There’s no battery. It’s a desktop

I’ve got an m1 Mac mini running Asahi and its great. Just make note, not all of the hardware features are 100% supported. I’m fine with what’s missing on my m1, but before you pull the trigger on an m2 Mac check the Asahi page and know exactly what machine you plan to install on. Do not buy it if you want or have to have hardware features that Asahi doesn’t support on the machine you’re planning to buy.
