Android 14 adds support for using your smartphone as a webcam
scrcpy is awesome! Native support for streaming the camera directly (vs. streaming a screen capture of the camera app) is coming soon: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/4213
For folks willing to build from source, I have an additional commit on top of the PR (linked in the comments) that enables support for Android's constrained high speed capture mode, allowing 120fps/240fps camera streaming. Not the most useful for meetings, but enables things like capturing high frame rate mixed reality VR footage. As far as I'm aware, there's no other Android webcam app, proprietary or open source, that can do anything above 60fps.

The ReMarkable Streaming Tool v2: Elevating Remote Work Efficiency
This was one of the reasons, why I went with one of the Boox devices (Max Lumi) in my case. It is Android, so adding even easier than working around their Linux distro.
Screen sharing (actually it doubles as a remote control as well) via https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
And as they don't try to leverage proprietary formats, Syncthing for syncing books and notes. And NetGuard for a good measure, so it doesn't call home.

Transform Your Android Device into a Linux Desktop
- enable non-resizable in multi-window
Then choose "simulate secondary displays" and choose the size (720p, 1080p, 4k)
Using https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy from your desktop and connecting to your phone allows you to choose the virtual display to connect to instead of your main phone display with the --display flag. It's similar to a chromeos feel and very performant

"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.
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/7645
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1743144
Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

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).

The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant
Sensitive features like screenshots, input methods, screen locking and whatnot are behind extensions (or portals). I'm not familiar with the state of GNOME/KDE/Flatpak, but at least on the wlroots side of things it is true that currently these extensions are enabled and accessible by any process that can talk to the Wayland socket (breaking those security benefits, as you say). This is changing with protocols such as security-context that allow a sandbox engine like Flatpak (or your custom scripts) to restrict what features apps can use. (so your browser can't register an input method, or some random app can't lock the screen)
