Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

Persistent workspaces?
I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.

[ New Package Request ] SwayFX
What are the chances of SwayFX being added to the repo ? I see someone had put in a PR but it was never accepted and also the package is now at version 0.3 whereas the person who put in the PR is still at 0.2 since April. Would it be bad practice for me to put in an updated PR that works as I'd be keen to maintain that package for sure ?

Wayland WM’s openGL versions
You can build Hyprland with its legacyrenderer to enable hardware acceleration on openGL 2.x. Sway and River both fully support openGL 2 as well, I use sway myself. The swayfx project (https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx) is starting to add hyprland-like features and targets openGL 2
