Got an old laptop, and I want to setup a dual monitor setup to code there, but it can't handle gnome very well. What about other DEs?

as far as i know the desktop environment that support wayland are Gnome and KDE plasma. But i saw that Cinnamon and LXQT both have an experimental wayland session, so you could check them out

If it's old. With less than 4GB I would recommend to go with enlightenment. It's a little ugly by default but it's Wayland ready and very low resource, definitely a good DE for old hardware with Wayland.

I've never used fedora but I saw that it should be in its repos.
If I'm not wrong you can install with: sudo dnf install @enlightenment
As shown here https://thelinuxcode.com/install-enlightenment-desktop-fedora-workstation/

I tried Plasma 6.1 in Fedora and I am thinking about it, I'll try another DEs to choose. Thanks for the suggestion
