currently riding a train with @holo_memory, so of course we had to try nerdy things like install Xfce4 on MNT Pocket Reform. to my surprise, it's mega easy. "sudo apt install xfce4", and then the beta (?) wayland version of Xfce4 is available on the GDM login screen (cogwheel icon). i just had to configure the display rotation and scaling in Display Settings. and messed a bit with the font, theme, icons etc.
Xfce seem to have settled for labwc as the compositor, which is a good choice i think.
