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.
Y'all arguing about window managers and I'm just trying to connect my shit-ass bt headset to my PC.
does Wayland even have a built in DWM? Because both are session manager.
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
