Xorg being removed. What does this mean?
>barrier has been unmaintained for a long time.
As if not having new features added for 2 years makes it stop working? barrier is perfectly fine on normal linux desktop installs. I actually use synergy 1.x personally which has been "unmaintained" for much, much longer. Except synergy 1.x will compile and run on anything from windows 98 to ubuntu 5 to debian 12. You can't get a waynergy or inputleap to compile on an OS more than 2 years old. And even then, as you say, it's crapshoot if the particular wayland will have libei; many like sway are actively hostile to it and never will: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2378
- Does Wayland use less battery than x11 in Fedora Linux?

Arch Linux odd question
It looks like they actually patched it to filter those modes out, so presumably it worked out of the box and was considered undesirable: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/3038

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
I haven't experienced any of those. The video game performance hit may be due to vsync, but I don't play games so I haven't noticed.

If I install a distro without a GUI, can I still launch graphical applications (like a Firefox window, for example)?
You can however use tinywl. It is an example Wayland compositor that can't do more than displaying one application.

Nearest-neighbor scaling on XWayland apps?
Sway/wlroots has implemented this, but I can't find any discussion for KDE.

Wofi is SO superior to Rofi
wlroots is archived on github. Is it abandoned? Just saying, that only means they moved git hosts :-D
- wayland-protocols update to allow tearing
-
Wayland harder for DE developers?
A lot of compositors are based no the wlroots lirbary. So they are still sharing the development effort and have a common base, its just in the form of a library rather than a display server.
