What are your thoughts on Sway? Are there things in your i3 setup that you can't migrate easily?

    Yes. Wayland just isn't as mture as X11 you have to fiddle with everything to work. Each wm/de (they're called compositors now? Wtf?) Now has it's own plethora of config, whilst on xorg you just configure your wm, you configure your compositor, everything is standalone and modular.

    A main issue with wayland for me is absolute atrocious performance when connected to external display (nvidia gpu). Another is no simple redshift alternative. Everything is just hard in wayland. And some of it isn't just because of it's less maturity (it's been around for decades), it's because it is hard by design and puts way too much responsibility and load on small wm,de maintainers.
