There's a few tools for this: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland#tools

There's none that I can notice. Mice cursor are rendered with hardware support

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
Here's one of many forks of an awesome-wayland repository that lists what's going on: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland

-
Krohnkite still does not work in Wayland, and it has not been updated in more than a year. Any alternatives? Is it Kwin's fault?
More specifically, see: awesome-wayland and arewewaylandyet. Sway-addons also has interesting stuff in it, like wl-clipboard which is mostly compatible with Klipper.

Starting with Linux on a tablet
Some tips: 1. Install "modern" DE. Both KDE and Gnome has nice touch support 2. Take a look at tiling WMs and addons, personally I use Bismuth 3. Install Touchegg. It allows you to set up multi-touch gestures for managing tiling, right click emulation, pinch-to-zoom, scroll and so on 4. Try Xournal for note taking 5. Take a look at related ArchWiki page

A distro with good touchscreen support
Arch Linux, I use it as daily driver on my Surface Pro 6. Read Touchscreen and Tablet articles on ArchWiki. I use KDE (touch support is decent), Touchegg for gestures with Touche GUI, Bismuth for tiling, OnBoard for on-screen keyboard.

Just switched to Wayland and so many of the annoying X11 bugs are completely fixed, and added a couple nice features and some of new bugs
Bismuth window tiling (krohnkite fork with wayland support since krohnkite is unmaintained) has a tracked bug with dialog pop-ups not floating and instead being tiled
-
A warning for laptop + second screen users that want to try Wayland.
Hopefully this will get fixed soon, because with this fix and (for my use case) Bismuth (Krohnkite successor), Wayland is very much usable and smooth.
-
Recommend me a tiling wm with KDE plasma.
I love Bismuth
- How impressive that a fully loaded Plasma session uses less than 700 MB RAM as of 2021, yet everything performs buttery smooth and flying fast, plus with a gorgeous default theme.
-
Can I install the Window Tiling Feature on KDE Fedora?
There's also Bismuth, which includes Wayland support: https://github.com/gikari/bismuth
-
What's the main reason you chose Plasma?
Or use tiling KWin script, that integrates better with Plasma and additionally works on Wayland: Bismuth.
