   I just noticed it as the newest listing on DistroWatch.   
   Wayland is supposed to be the future. RebeccaBlackOS   
   on SourceForge is pure Wayland, and now offers a choice   
   of desktops.  It is a much fuller distro than Hawaii or whatever,   
   although Hawaii is a DE, and is one of the alternatives.
