Help finding a keyboard layout
I also installed https://github.com/houmain/keymapper to get rid of the two most unergonomic keys for me. Swapped LAlt and RShift because LAlt is pretty much unused for me, and put Enter on Space (long hold).

AutoHotkey for Linux
For handling Wayland you attack the problem at the libinput layer. Example: https://github.com/houmain/keymapper

PipeWire: Bluetooth Support Status Update
This is true.
Apple still is more sophisticated in the scripting department. Applescript support in most applications and the ability to tie that into actions is seriously powerful stuff.
Gnome wins in the ability to use javascript to customize window handling, but it isn't really able to script application actions like you can in OS X.
It is improving though. If you can use keyboard to navigate the functions you want in applications you can automate it with software like keymapper.
https://github.com/houmain/keymapper
There are other similar software available.
Keymapper is software that intercepts input from your keyboard and allows you to 'remap' it. It operates on the libinput level of things, so it works regardless of environment or if you are in the console. It does require elevated privileges, though.
This when combined with Gnome-shell extension and user keymapperd daemon it can provide application-specific contexts for keyboard combos. The extension monitors for switching applications and gives keymapper the ability to be context-aware.
This is how I "solved" the copy past nightmare for myself in Linux. This way no matter if I am in a browser, terminal, or Emacs I have consistent copy-paste keys. (super-c, super-v). Makes things easier.
This isn't even remotely on the same level as applescript, but at least it is something. You have to understand low-level Linux keyboard stuff, which is still a mess. Versus being able to simply record yourself using applescript.
Gnome certainly is a very relaxing environment once you get used to it. Much less frantic or distraction filled compared to Windows or OS X. I like it.

no lower or greater than symbol on azerty thinkpad T430 keyboard
I have installed endeavourOS on a thinkpad T430 with an azerty keyboard. Unfortunately no keys combinations allow to type the symbols less than < or greater than >. keymapper available in AUR (https://github.com/houmain/keymapper 1) can be used to customize the keyboard. I’d like to map those symbols as follow:

Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
Wayland provides little by design, so this is quite typical. For example:
Screensharing is handled by pipewire [0], changing keyboard layouts aren't defined [1] by wayland, and generally anything Wayland devs think would 'corrupt' their protocol.
They leave most things to the compositor to implement, which leads to significant fragmentation as every compositor implements it differently.
Long gone are the days of xset and xdotool working across nearly every distro due to a common base, now the best you'll get is running a daemon as root to directly access `/dev/uinput` [2] or implementing each compositors accessibility settings (if they have them) as a workaround.

how hard is it to program pinch zoom for my touchpad in linux?
I personally use libinput-gestures to call commands using touchpad gestures. You can also combine it with ydotool to bind macros and such to your gestures, e.g. 4 fingers swipe down closes the current window, 3 fingers swipe left or right changes workspace, etc

ydotoold background process?
Have you tried using the systemd unit file supplied with ydotool? It's probably installed somewhere on your system. Else you can get it here and just change the install location of ydotoold.

KDE-Connect keyboard input works on Wayland now!!
For simulated keyboard there are tools such as dotool or ydotool and KeePass extensions such as KPUInput that work by giving the user access to /dev/uinput. That works, but it's a bit inelegant; I guess in the future a Wayland protocol for simulated keyboard input will emerge, like wlroots already has, also for virtual pointers.

Out of curiosity, I tried to use Wayland earlier and compared to X11, everything seems to load faster which really surprised me. However, I've also noticed some things that confused me, that's why I'm posting this. To ask what I'm missing or what I did wrong. Thanks as always!
ydotool is the generic equivalent. It works on both X11 and Wayland environments.

Curious to know what are your general experiences on using keyboard and mouse input automations on Wayland...
Autokey does not work yet, but there is Hawck and Espanso that you could play around with. And there is ydotool if all you need is simulating basic input (as in ydotool mousemove -x -10 -y -10, ydotool type 'Hello world!' and so on).
