If I recall correctly theShell runs on Wayland too: https://vicr123.com/ Frank
I look at both DEs: theShell [1] and theDesk [2]. It wouldn't make sense to have 2 DEs for the desktop, unless one was for Xorg, and the other for Wayland, but it doesn't seem that case. The other case would be that one was for mobile while the other for desktop, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. I can't tell why 2 DEs, but looking at the dependencies on the github corresponding webpages:
TheShell
--------
qmake
A EWMH compatible window manager. (KWin is the default)
the-libs
wmctrl
xbacklight
kscreen
NetworkManager
libsystemd
akonadi (on Ubuntu, you'll need libkf5akonadi-dev - thanks SparkyCola)
libcups
libxcb
libxcursor
tsscreenlock
ts-polkitagent
ts-bt
ts-qtplatform
TheDesk
-------
Qt 5
Qt Core
Qt GUI
Qt Widgets
Qt SVG
the-libs
libtdesktopenvironment
Xlib
xorg-libinput
NetworkManager-Qt
So nothing making me suspect of Wayland... Looking at their corresponding code frequency graphs, it seems theDesk has been more active lately... From AUR, the dependencies are:
TheShell
--------
kscreen (kscreen-git)
kwidgetsaddons (kwidgetsaddons-git)
kwin (kwin-hybris, i3-plasma, kwin-lowlatency, kwin-unredirect, kwin-git, kwinft-git, kwinft)

qt5-location (qt5-location-git)
redshift (redshift-git, redshift-minimal-git, redshift-gnomerr-git, redshift-wayland-git, redshift-minimal)
ts-bt
ts-bugreport
ts-qtplatform
tsscreenlock
wmctrl
xdg-utils (mimi-git, sx-open, busking-git, xdg-utils-git, linopen, xdg-utils-mimeo, xdg-utils-handlr, xdg-utils-slock, mimi-bachoseven-git, mimejs-git)
xorg-xbacklight (acpilight)
alsa-utils (alsa-utils-transparent, alsa-utils-git, alsa-utils-nosystemd-minimal-git) (optional) – for volume controls
TheDesk
-------
accountsservice (accountsservice-elogind)
bluez-qt (bluez-qt-git)
kwin (kwin-hybris, i3-plasma, kwin-lowlatency, kwin-unredirect, kwin-git, kwinft-git, kwinft)
libtdesktopenvironment

td-polkitagent
the-libs (the-libs-blueprint)
thedesk-platform
thedesk-xdg-utils
xf86-input-libinput (xf86-input-libinput-hires-scroll, xf86-input-libinput-git)
bluez-qt (bluez-qt-git) (make)

the-libs (the-libs-blueprint) (make)
xf86-input-libinput (xf86-input-libinput-hires-scroll, xf86-input-libinput-git) (make)
It looks to me the theDesk is like the next generation. However, it also looks to me, they both are Xorg DEs, in which case, I'm already using LXQt + KWin... So, none seems like Wayland DEs unfortunately.
Thanks !!
