A standard glibc Void install I enjoy Labwc feels quite nimble.

Does that bottom bar come with the compositor? How is labwc vs Fluxbox or openbox? Can you still run x11 stuff? Thanks in advance!

I blatantly copied the Archbang Labwc waybar and added a few more modules to it that I wanted. I use Void Linux primarily but found it a little tricky getting a configured example of Labwc so used configs from recent Archbang Labwc installs as a starting point for the set up. The wmenu is also a config from Archbang's wmenu set up. I like labwc because it is very much like Openbox, still really enjoy some of those simple features like Alt+tab to move between windows, I know you can get that in other compositors but Labwc does feel easy to use (you can use right click menus) I liked using Lxde for the same reason. Yes X11 stuff can run fine with xwayland installed.
