How to learn writing a Wayland compositor?
Understand Wayland concepts: Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts and principles of Wayland. This will help you gain a solid understanding of how the system works. You can refer to the official Wayland documentation (https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/) and the Wayland book (https://wayland-book.com/). Learn Rust: If you're not already proficient in Rust, take some time to learn the language. The Rust Book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) is a great place to start. Study existing Wayland compositors: Since you mentioned Anvil and smallvil, you can study their source code to gain insights into how they're designed and implemented. Try to understand the structure and how different components interact with each other. Dive into Smithay: Smithay (https://github.com/Smithay/smithay) is a Rust library for building Wayland compositors. Familiarize yourself with the library and its components. You can start by studying the provided examples and reading the API documentation. Learn graphics programming: Since you're interested in graphics effects, you'll need to learn about graphics programming concepts, such as shaders, framebuffers, and texturing. Vulkan (https://www.vulkan.org/) is a popular graphics API that you can use with Rust. Check out the following resources to learn more about Vulkan and graphics programming in Rust: Vulkan Tutorial (https://vulkan-tutorial.com/) gfx-rs (https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx), a Rust graphics library Vulkano (https://github.com/vulkano-rs/vulkano), a safe, pure-Rust wrapper around the Vulkan API Start small: Break down the compositor project into smaller, manageable tasks. Begin by implementing basic functionality, like setting up a window and drawing simple shapes. Gradually add more features, such as input handling and window management. Ask for help: Join the Wayland and Rust communities to ask questions and seek advice. You can find them on forums, mailing lists, and chat platforms like Discord or IRC. The Wayland mailing list (https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel) and the Rust programming subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/) are good places to start. Iterate and experiment: As you progress, keep experimenting with different graphics effects and shaders. Try to implement the features you're interested in, such as blur, window previews, and window switching.

Rendering broken by rust 1.67 field ordering
For users of old school crate _gfx_ v0.18 I have PRs that will fix this issue without any additional changes (https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx/pull/3791) though I suppose there aren't too many such users nowadays...

Why is it that I need to invert the projection matrix in Vulkan and how should that be handled when supporting multiple render backends?
The gfx-backend-* READMEs each have a graphic explanation that is very useful. As others have said, the best way to handle this is with a flipped viewport, but I've never seen a satisfactory explanation as to why this doesn't mess with front/back faces and culling.

Wgpu: Copies into 3D images are not supported
Searching through the source code for wgpu and its dependencies, the error is coming from the gfx-rs DirectX 11 backend. I am guessing this is because of a limitation of DirectX 11. The easiest thing to do would probably be to try switching to the DirectX 12 or Vulkan backends.

I built a simple C8 emulator/debugger/disassembler (Rust)
Looks like they are using https://github.com/ggez/ggez which in turn uses https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx for low-level drawing to the screen

OpenGL in Rust
There is also gfx-rs, which should be easier to use than opengl.

Ask HN: How to self-learn graphics programming?
https://crates.io/crates/tiny-skia
You can put things together pretty easily with these libs. And they also let you skip the gpu boilerplate (I should note that tiny-skia works only in the CPU).
Lastly, you have shader programming (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.). If you're writing "production code" you'll have to do some setting up of the GPU, and the actual graphics code will be in a separate shader language. Shader languages are similar to C but with restrictions that allow for a high level of parallism, making it extremely fast. If you want to get started with this I'd recommend playing around on a site like shadertoy[1] where you can start writing shaders right away. I haven't done much of this myself but as far as Rust goes I've seen a lot of references to the gfx crate:
https://crates.io/crates/gfx
I hope this helps

Should I choose Macroquad or Raylib?
Need no game engine feature but rendering being handled for ya? Choose macrosquad for pure rust, but raylib isn't that bad if you are comfortable with handling custom compile and working with the FFI. I have an engine for just rendering alone too tho it's nowhere near that featureful and barely above pure rendering yourself (blue engine

How Am I Expected To Learn All Of The Functions Of Wgpu?
I did exactly that for my Blue Engine and been working on it since 9 months now. You can take a look at source code of it and follow along with sotrh's and it'll all hopefully go great! Or if you don't wanna do all of those manual labor, you are welcome to try my engine *cough shameless plug *cough.

Render pipeline creation confusion
Damn that's a lotta work! For me the loading from vec automates a lot when rendering (e.g. here). This way it helped a lot in automation of default for objects to have it all work out of the box and still be able to change according to how one likes, e.g. objects which automates default pipeline and helping functions like resizing, translation, scale, ...
