Vala Programming Language
There are a lot of third-party Linux apps built with GTK4/Libadwaita. If you just to to https://flathub.org and click on random apps a lot of them will use GTK.

Gnome developer proposes removing the X11 session
Which X clients are these? You didn't name any so let's just look at some of the popular and recent flathub apps: https://flathub.org/
I see a lot of games, chat apps, text editors, photo apps, office apps. These all will work fine in XWayland and XQuartz. But also, it's relatively easy to get them running on Wayland natively.

Are there any major sacrifices you make to play on Linux over Windows?
If you're worried about the potential of breaking things, I'd pick the Fedora Kinoite distro. Up to date gaming support, stable and extremely difficult to break. Install apps from Flathub using the built-in Discover software store and go nuts.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
>Not losing all the work every time your windows manager crashes
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37509703
>remapping keys
>Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Gnome developer proposes removing the X11 session
> - O proper screen recording support
Works just fine. I use OBS.
> - broken screen sharing
Never had any trouble with it.
> - No proper global keyboard shortcut
> - No push to talk support
On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...
> - Several problems with multiple screens
Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

The Guy Preserving the New History of PC Games, One Linux Port at a Time
It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).
I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

Xdg portal hyprland and launching gui apps
