Smooth slideshow wallpaper
AFAIK swaybg cannot display animated GIFs, but came across this post, which mentions these projects: - oguri - MPVPaper

swww - A Solution to your Wayland Wallpaper Woes
It supports a bunch of file types (anything the image crate supports), AND animated gifs. Regarding those, one of the big motivations for making this was oguri's insane memory usage when displaying animations. For reference, for me, oguri used up a little over 8 GIGABYTES OF RAM for a 450 frames gif, while swww is currently using around 49 megabytes for the same file.

there's oguri, which can do gifs - and is just a great wallpaper solution all around.

Any alternatives to Wallpaper engine on Linux?
On Wayland, there's oguri and glpaper.

swaybg alone eating up almost 500mb ram for some reason! are there any alternatives?
Here is another wallpaper tool for sway: https://github.com/vilhalmer/oguri

Any digital desktop clock?
You could probably hack something together with a daemon that generates a wallpaper with the time on it and sends e.g. swaysmg output * background /path/to/bg fill at the correct intervals, but I haven’t tried. Alternatively could hack on https://github.com/vilhalmer/oguri or https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper which do animated backgrounds.

is X / X11 really dying?
KDE had a plugin for animated wallpaper that would freeze when a window is displayed. That thing took twice as much resources as Oguri running full-time in the background.
- Animated/Video wallpapers?

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.
