Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
Why? There's already a port of that specific Wayland manager it's just waiting for someone to either fork it or take it over.
-
switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.
OP could try https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad, but it is incomplete, so Sway is likely the better option.

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.
-
A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.

How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?

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.
-
Wofi is SO superior to Rofi
wlroots is archived on github. Is it abandoned? Just saying, that only means they moved git hosts :-D
-
How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
Using [wlroots](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots) should get a lot of the dirty work out of the way.
-
How does a Wayland compositor and client communicate?
hello-wayland and tinywl are simple wayland client and server respectively. Also wayland-book

- Sway performance issues in Firefox

My VR Hell on NixOS
The underlying Wayland protocol needed to allow direct mode for HMD has been merged as an official Wayland protocol a few months ago. Sway and Wlroots both already support it, though both have not received a release since then, so you would need to run Git master there. XWayland (which is required for SteamVR) has a pending merge request (which will probably be merged in the next few days) that implements the required feature. I am running my Valve Index in VR since I switched to Wayland in February this year. The Vulkan extension you mentioned in the post is just a fallback in case the X server (or in your case XWayland) doesn't support drm-lease. I never saw that extension in action so I don't even know if it works at all on Linux.
