A project to keep an eye on, to replicate 'autotype' support offered by many password managers, is wlrctl¹. A popular alternative is ydotool², but brings some additional risks the operator might not be comfortable with.

#32Is it still the case that Nvidia drivers don't work with Wayland?
Nvidia is basically dead at this point, no support for standards that have been around for years. And now they are including malware in their cards to slow down unapproved calculations.
CUDA is an industry standard, and AMD's lack of support is why NVIDIA enjoys a monopoly in the deep learning community.

#33If you are looking for an alternative status bar that works with sway, you can use my fork of yagostatus :) https://github.com/denysvitali/yagostatus
I'm using https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust which also works well with Sway.
I currently use i3status-rust. with a lot of custom blocks, with X. I'm thinking of switching to Sway. Did you have any config problems?

I use Waybar.

#35Does ibus work seamlessly in Wayland yet? As a person who regularly needs to input French, Chinese, and Japanese, besides English, I tried Wayland in Kubuntu 20.04 and a non-working ibus was a complete showstopper for me.
It's not a Wayland problem, ibus does not work in KDE even on X11.

Uh? I've been using ibus with mozc for Japanese input on KDE for the past 3 years.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
The best option if you need modern Linux desktop is to ditch Nvidia and to switch to AMD.
For compute as well? Maybe once ROCm is actually supported by their newest cards, but this two-year lag on compute support does not inspire confidence. Neither Navi nor Big Navi are supported -- the last card with ROCm support is Vega .
For compute, you don't need the desktop, so the Wayland vs X11 debate is moot.

#39I don’t know how I feel about Wayland. On the one hand it’s being made by x11 devs so I think they more than anyone else know why they would need to start from scratch over improving x11. On the other hand, moving away from x breaks so many things and I haven’t heard anyone singing it’s praises yet about how happy they are to use it.
I understand apps are breaking because they relied on features of x that were security risks but it doesn’t seem like Wayland provides a safe or convenient alternative to the way apps were doing things before.
I wonder if it will ever reach the adoption level of x11
