@roland@pl.starnix.network I have been using sway the whole time I've been travelling (almost 3 months) and it has been pretty fine. Wallpaper never worked, but otherwise just werked. Granted, I was using it minimally, running stuff like finch and wc3 directly in other ttys instead.
Only in the last few days did I really try integrating them, and worked out that foot and alacritty both have a bug that prevents you using finch, but it's specifically related to them, not to wayland or sway.
So today, about an hour ago, I opened hyprland. "auto" scaling mode for some fucking reason defaults to 1.5 which screws with wine's virtual desktop (though I wonder if I need it under these circumstances). Also wallpaper requires deferring to some other program and hyprpaper's docs straight up say the way to use it to rotate through a folder is with an empty config file and a shell script. Otherwise mostly just werking.
(Thanks to djsumdog@wherever the fuck for the recommendation, his blog post about hyprland basically said "better sway".)

oi hai! Thanks for the ping.
I should try Hyprland again I guess. I'm back on X11 for my main machine. Last time I got pretty far, but there were just a couple things that were way too janky still. Here are the blog posts Zergling is referring to:
https://battlepenguin.com/tech/adventures-in-hyprland/
https://battlepenguin.com/technology/i-try-sway-wayland-about-once-a-year/
I am using KDE Plasma/Wayland on my home theater (an LG OLED TV) since I got HDR + mpv working using this: https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer
Been meaning to write a guide on that too.
