After much optimisation for our hardware, we have reached the point where labwc desktops run just as fast as X on older Raspberry Pi models. Today, we make the switch with our latest desktop image: Raspberry Pi Desktop now runs Wayland by default across all models. When you update an existing installation of Bookworm, you will see a prompt asking to switch to labwc the next time you reboot. We recommend that most people switch to labwc. Existing Pi 4 or 5 Bookworm installations running Wayfire shouldn't change in any noticeable way, besides the loss of a couple of animations which we haven't yet implemented in labwc. Because we will no longer support Wayfire with updates on Raspberry Pi OS, it's best to adopt labwc as soon as possible. Older Pis that currently use X should also switch to labwc.
