DeskPad – A virtual monitor for screen sharing
Yeah. On Wlroots or Sway, we can setup virtual displays pretty easily (swaymsg create_output, done). Then both the other person and yourself connect to the wayvnc vnc server server to see what's over there.

Dropping GNOME's X11 session approved for Fedora 41
You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...
There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc

Is my use case with X.org possible with Wayland?
There's wayvnc.

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
It says on their GitHub page that "Gnome, KDE, and Weston are not supported". What does that mean?
-
What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
I thought this existed in the form of wayvnc but from their README it seems they don't support the popular desktop environments (GNOME, KDE).
-
What are my options for remote desktop software on wayland?
Not sure if I would call it hassle free, but wayvnc isn't that hard to set up.

When do you think you will switch to Wayland?

Can I run Sway via remote desktop on a Linode server running arch?
There is however a fresh issue on the wayvnc github with what looks like your problem. https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/issues/206

Use a laptop as a 2nd display on Linux using FreeRDP
On wayvnc git master and sway 1.8 (or git master), you can script things so that a "virtual" display gets created automatically when someone connects to VNC, and removed when they disconnect.
See https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/pull/200/files
The script in the PR does something a bit different, but it's only an example and can be modified to do what I described in the first paragraph.

Intel is using DXVK for their Windows Arc GPU DX9 drivers
No - it's not X, it's doesn't share a screen in the way X does.
That said... if this is a shoddy attempt at a "gotcha" style question - Screen sharing and remote desktop are both supported.
Ex - for Gnome:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop
LibVNCServer for VNC support, FreeRDP for remote desktop protocol.
For KDE:
https://userbase.kde.org/Krfb
Which mostly just works as long as you have Pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed (the base plasma-wayland session usually includes them)
This one is a bit less polished - some users still have problems with keyboard input, depending on the distro and other installed packages.
For Sway:
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr works just fine for screen sharing, and you can use https://github.com/any1/wayvnc for VNC access (including having a completely headless machine).

Pomodoro Timer: Waybar and uair
I am currently using uair integrated in to my Waybar running on my sway window manager. I use it similar to the way I use watson (both as a CLI tool with Waybar integrations), so it is a good fit for me.

"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.
