Auto tiling
As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

Layout differencies eOS 5.1.7 vs. eOS 7
it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Can one write pantheon extensions (like for gnome-shell)?
For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala

What exactly would a port to Wayland entail?
There’s a link to a wiki on that project board with that info :) https://github.com/elementary/gala/wiki/Experimenting-with-Wayland
sway
- Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland compositor
- Sway 1.9 Release
- Sway 1.9

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

Firefox on the Brink?
I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.
I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
