What do you guys use to manage monitors?
For an arandr replacement, https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/i3-Migration-Guide recommends wdisplays.

But, Sway also supports a Wayland protocol which allows other applications to configure the displays instead. You can read it here if you want the gritty details. My preferred application to configure Sway's outputs is wdisplays.

Are there Wayland equivalents of xrandr and xinput?
You could have a look at wdisplays. Uses wlroots.

Three monitor configuration
I run 3 monitors in a similar config manually configured with negative x values for the left most monitor, it worked ok, but now I use https://github.com/artizirk/wdisplays for an easy life

Tell HN: Gnome on Wayland Is Amazing
sway laptop user here (for almost 2 years I think?).
I spent a little while on this, but I migrated from i3, so I just ported every little section of my config bit by bit.
In terms of battery bar and other "bar" type things, I use waybar[0] which basically does all the things you'd expect by default (just install and it "works").
For multi-monitor, config, I initially setup with wdisplays[1] (think arandr for wayland) and then manually copied the positions into my sway config. Monitor positioning was the only thing I needed to setup (and telling it that one monitor was HDPI) and then all of the scaling and everything worked perfectly. This was my biggest selling point for wayland, I now get nice crisp fonts and application scaling works nicely (which was not the case with X).
volume control from the keyboard took no time, just a couple of extra lines.
There was some stuff to do with the clipboard (wl-clipboard[2]) and screenshots (grim[3] + slurp[4]) that required some setup, but again, just a few lines, and didn't take much mental load.
Oh and I needed to change my notifications daemon(dunst[5]), and chose to change my program launcher to one with a nicer interface and cleaner fonts (wofi[6]).
I think that's all the tweaking that I did. Oh, and I needed to do something with pipewire to sort out screensharing at the start, don't remember that too well though...

Actually functional compositors, and querying their protocol capabilities : mirroring screens
Maybe try https://github.com/Ferdi265/wl-mirror, since it says it should work on all wlroots compositors.

New to Sway here too, but for mirroring I've been looking Ferdi265/wl-mirror: a simple Wayland output mirror client - GitHub https://github.com/Ferdi265/wl-mirror

How to duplicate screen?
Have you tried wl-mirror ?
-
How to use projector on sway?
A key thing to remember with Wayland and external monitors or projectors: it will appear as a separate desktop, just like if you had two monitors and mirroring is not built in (and it does not appear it ever will be). If you want to mirror your screen, you'll have to use something like wl-mirror, which is actually really simple and slick.

I am an i3 user, and why should I consider sway?
mirroring screen during presentations: try [wl-mirror](https://github.com/Ferdi265/wl-mirror). I have, and it worked great.
