Both don’t ship with their own Wayland compositor, but there are enough to choose from.

Xfce comes with a wayland session using labwc out of the box, but was also tested with Wayfire. The devs state you shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for the native window manager xfwm to be ported into a Wayland compositor, since they don’t know if/when it will be done. Almost all other Xfce components support Wayland now, while retaining X11 compatibility.

LXQt’s newest stable release has full Wayland support, with 7 different Wayland compositors to choose from within a GUI settings menu: Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland, Sway, River and Niri

    sway, wayfire, river, hyprland and labwc are standalone wayland compositors. why we need desktop environments inside them!

      That was an interesting choice of words “inside”

      I thought DEs were around the WM. This is, you run a WM in a DE.
