Another cool project I recently found is Quickshell.

A number of components for building shells using Qt Markup Language. I saw QML for the first time in 2011, and I didn't enjoy it, but today it looks very sane to me (and I understand it much better :D).

If I ever need to prototype a bar, notification center, application launcher or something similar I would go for that. At least will start with it.

Demos are pretty cute and impressive:

I archived my #flatpak repo for VK HDR layer. Less than three months after packaging it, the layer has finally become obsolete.

🌕 GitHub - J-x-Z/cocoa-way:基於 Rust 與 Smithay 開發的原生 macOS Wayland 合成器,實現無縫 Linux 應用串流
➤ 告別 XQuartz,透過現代化 Wayland 通訊協定實現跨平臺應用整合
https://github.com/J-x-Z/cocoa-way
cocoa-way 是一個創新的開源專案,旨在解決 macOS 與 Linux 環境之間的應用程式串流隔閡。該工具利用 Rust 語言及 Smithay 庫,直接在 macOS 上實作了原生的 Wayland 合成器(Compositor)。與依賴過時的 XQuartz 不同,cocoa-way 透過高效的 socket 通訊與 waypipe-darwin 協作,將 Linux 上的 Wayland 應用程式無縫投射至 macOS 桌面,並提供 Metal/OpenGL 硬體加速與 HiDPI 支援。對於需要在 macOS 使用 Linux 軟體的開發者而言,這是一項兼具低延遲與高

Generally speaking, #Xwayland should be avoided for gaming where possible (which still isn't always possible, especially until Steam fix their overlay). The high latency people experience after switching from #X11 to #Wayland does not come from Wayland itself, but the indirection of this legacy compatibility layer. Don't take my word for it, this was measured in detail by David Justo this year:

Building an Input Latency Meter (Because ‘Wayland Feels Off’ Isn’t a Metric)

A repeatable way to measure end‑to‑end input latency: Arduino HID input + phototransistor sensor to time screen luminance changes, comparing Wayland, X11, XWayland, and Windows.

There currently are two recent #Phoronix articles that are shared widely, comparing #KDE KWin 6.6 vs #Gnome Mutter 50 in terms of game performance (one for AMD, one for Nvidia). What it lacks to me is a disclosure whether this is comparing the pure #Wayland compositor performance or more specifically their #Xwayland integrations. At least for the Windows games I will have to assume it is the latter (as Proton does not yet _default_ to Wayland).

Tech Talk: How Electron went Wayland-native, and what it means for your apps | Electron

Electron recently switched to Wayland by default on Linux, bringing dozens of popular desktop apps along with it. Here's what changed and how it affects developers and users.
