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.

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

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.

Is there a good tutorial for writing an X11 Tiling Window manager in Rust?
I've looked at these: - DWM: A popular, compact WM written in C - LeftWM: A popular, configurable WM written in Rust - GabelstaplerWM: An obscure, compact WM written in Rust - XCB DWM: An abandoned rewrite of DWM using XCB

Arch + Tiling Window Manager

Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
In particular, I think that "ultrawide-vertical-stack" (based on "CenterMain" from LeftWM) is quite close to what you are looking for. Give it a try with komorebic change-layout ultrawide-vertical-stack!
Right now there are only a fixed number of layouts because there is a bunch of stuff that needs to be implemented for navigating in different layouts, but in general it should not be too difficult to port any of the layouts used by LeftWM, especially now that there is the optional to make some layouts navigable via cycling only. Please do open an issue for more ultrawide-friendly layouts as I imagine that this is an issue that is stopping other ultrawide users from making the jump to using a TWM like komorebi.

Komorebi: Another tiling window manager for Windows 10 based on binary space partitioning
Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.

"Best" programming setup?
might as well use amp (vim in rust), leftwm (wm in rust), and nushell (shell in rust), just because
