Personally a BIG fan of hyprland

- Hyprland's lead developer is very toxic, and attempting to interact with them on their discord is a recipe for a bad time.

  Is there anything other than hyprland that has special workspaces like it does? I used to use it until I found out about everything with the developer and that's the feature I miss the most

  That's probably the reason why Brodie stopped using it too. Never said why though, just switched to KDE. Which is extremely weird that he did... I heard about the toxicity, cannot confirm myself by first hand, which is the reason why I never tried it out.

  I remember he was banned from contributing to freedesktop

  Then just... don't do that?
  
  It's a solid wm

- I’m tempted to try Hikari just because it uses Darcs.
  
  I preferred it to Git until Git dominated so thoroughly that I started using Git for personal as well as work projects.

I saw some people talking about niri just recently and plan to give that a try soon.

- I'm sure I missed something important because I picked it from the list in sddm and went to black screen without any TTYs to switch to. project for another day alas

- happy user here. you can actually see where you left stuff that was too much to fit your screen in your current workspace. it comes pretty natural to grasp compared to traditional tiling managers.

add phosh and sxmo for mobile interfaces. I don't know if the sxmo wayland compositor has an official name; the X11 one is dwm based though.

- Yes, it's just sway

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I run PopOs with Wayland and it works great. Certain games after playing a lot of hours after a few days will make it sort of freeze up for a second here and there. If you log out and back in, it's all good. It would be only complaint but not a big enough deal to complain about.

- Note that you need to enable wayland in some config file

  True, it's really easy though. I watched a video on it, it took me five minutes and I was pretty new to Linux. I still am.

- Ngl I feel like I don't want a ubuntu base as my distro

  That's fair. I used nobara for about a month, based off of Fedora. It worked good, but my sound quit working and I really missed the way I could set up workspaces on popos.
