I dont' think a lot of people appreciate just how good default Sway is as a WM. and this is probably a controversial take but Sway-Bar with i3Status or blocks is WAY better than Waybar (I personally hate waybar).
It just works.
I think the problem with #Wayland that on it's own it is not enough. X11 x Wayland is a close fit, but my new framework, Yutani, should help catapult things beyond the 21st century.
If you can't want to see what Wayland-Yutani can accomplish in the future, may I recommend 30 years in hypersleep...
Fedora with Mate+Compiz. It's ok, but being Fedora it consumes a lot of RAM (double than on Arch with Mate). Overall though, usable. Nvidia drivers got installed without issue following the wiki (unlike on OpenSuSE, on the same hardware). Finally, I don't know what Mate will do though since X11 is going to be removed in the next Fedora version, and Mate doesn't work with #Wayland.
Here they are calling for someone brave enough to port #xterm to #Wayland

In time, a new hope will rise, brave enough to take on the task which everyone will disapprove of. But really, I'm sure at least one #nerd in every region is considering this...
Wayland Will Never Be Ready
The full article titled, "Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User" is one of my favorite writings on the topic. Well done Maya Posch, well done indeed.

Ok, you crazies...
Who among you are bollocks enough to port Xterm to Wayland?
The motivation for this total gobshite toot: I'd love to have a #wayland terminal emulator with bangin' support for (actual) bitmapped fonts. And a friendly little font menu. XD
P.S. THIS became a #hellthread???!? lol... powerful force, this #hellthreadia, but the method of activation is highly irregular! XD
Sudden NVIDIA driver failure #nvidia #graphics #xorg #wayland #gpudriver
TRIUMPH! The LAST and FINAL thing holding me back from completely moving to #Wayland was replacing #AutoKey for text expansion.
#espanso appears to replace all the functionality (at least that I use, although the scripting is not via Python). Happy!
NOTE! DEBIAN USERS! If you follow the instructions on the installation page, you get an old release that has dependency issues. Download the LATEST RELEASE 2.2.3 of the Wayland .deb

and then follow the installation instructions:
