    I remember seeing lemmy maybe 4+ years ago on some open-source subreddit. It had practically non-existent user base, so I’ve ignored it. After that, I remember a first wave of people making mastodon accounts (even before elon). There I’ve first heard of concept of “fediverse”. I liked the idea but I honestly thought it had zero chances to compete with mainstream social media.

    And then everything turned to shit, making a gap between something like lemmy and reddit a lot smaller. So I’ve jumped the ship with everyone after the API shitstorm.

    Ok, because of this post - I decided to bite the bullet and try wayland again. And it was much better experience this time:

    I’ve installed sway “pattern” on OpenSuse-Tumbleweed and:

    • Previous time I had some issues with lightdm not supporting sway, now - it just works.
    • I still use xdotool and i3-msg in my custom scratchpad script and yet everything is working.

    waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.

    I confused it with swaybar, that’s installed with sway by default and should be an i3bar-compatible. Waybar doesn’t seem to support i3bar protocol, but anyway, after I configured it - it’s like 95% there from what I want.

    • I had to force xcb platform for appimage of nekoray (qt VPN gui), because it’s complaining about missing wayland-egl plugin. But it’s a small problem with straightforward fix, so not that bad.

    I could switch tomorrow if I could do my current setup:

    • Tiling Window manager (sway?)
    • simple status bar to output text from a script with clickable applet icons (waybar?)
    • the way to show/hide windows on a button press - I have a script that I use to quickly toggle 3 dropdown terminal windows

    Last time I tried Wayland in December, I had issues with waybar not supporting clicking tray applet icons. Also I’ve ported my dropdown terminals script to support sway - and it worked half the time, like, literally every second key press was ignored.

    On one hand I have X session that currently has no downsides for me, on other - wayland that has no upsides. Tell me, why would I switch?
