Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
I'd like to, but I use the Awesome Window Manager, and there is currently no direct equivalent in Wayland at this time. I was holding out for Way Cooler, but unfortunately, it had stopped development 4 years ago.

help me choose a wm
Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.

I know there is a dead project "Way cooler" a wayland awesome clone. https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
And way-cooler(awesome wayland), is archived and not worked on anymore.

Wayland rewrite fundraiser?
There have been discussions about porting to Wayland on the Discord before and there was a project called (waycooler)[https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler] that attempted to do this. As far as I can tell, you are right in that it would be a serious undertaking, but I would ask on the Discord if you're interested in setting up some kind of fundraiser.

NVIDIA Proposes Mesa Patches To Support Alternative GBM Back-Ends
Compositors have to be specifically written for Wayland. Awesome/Qtile only support X11 but they could be re-written using a framework like wlroots (somebody tried to make an Awesome clone called Way Cooler but development eventually stalled).

FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation
WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.
For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

Wayland Is Pretty Good
This is running in WSL?
Microsoft has some wayland stuff already for WSL, though I think internally there's RDP involved: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Need help getting Linux GUI applications to run on Windows through WSL 2

Ask HN: Windows 10-based devs, are you upgrading to Windows 11?
Apparently, WSLg does away with the need for a separate X server, making things "easy" to use:

Graphics in c++ but in wsl
There's two completely different aspects to your question. 1) How to manage libraries in c++ without dying from cringe? I'd suggest you use cmake as the build system and grab library sources directly from GitHub using this tool: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake 2) How to get apps that run under WSL to display windows-native windows? I'm not sure, but it's probably this: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Here’s a thread about it. You can get into the underlying RDP session instead of just apps launching. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019
