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.
-
If I install a distro without a GUI, can I still launch graphical applications (like a Firefox window, for example)?
You can however use tinywl. It is an example Wayland compositor that can't do more than displaying one application.
-
Nearest-neighbor scaling on XWayland apps?
Sway/wlroots has implemented this, but I can't find any discussion for KDE.
-
Wofi is SO superior to Rofi
wlroots is archived on github. Is it abandoned? Just saying, that only means they moved git hosts :-D
- wayland-protocols update to allow tearing
-
Wayland harder for DE developers?
A lot of compositors are based no the wlroots lirbary. So they are still sharing the development effort and have a common base, its just in the form of a library rather than a display server.

What does gamescope output to?
gamescope use wlroots
wl-gammactl

Actually Portable Vim (With a Cute Vimrc)
I don't know what you mean by color management - is it the calibration of the display with xrite/argyll?
For ICC profiles colormgr can help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles#Wayland
If you just need basic brightness, contrast and gamma, wl-gammactl should do that: https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl
BTW Hyprland is not required, it's just the most practical way to have shortcuts key mappings in Wayland

Setting Contrast Value in Wayland
However, this does not work in Wayland since it obviously belongs to the X Window System. I started searching the web for a possible solution and found wl-gammactl, which is a GUI for wlroots (https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl) and the gnome-gamma-tool (https://github.com/zb3/gnome-gamma-tool), but neither of them seemed to work because of missing dependencies, which can't be installed or invalid version numbers of required packages (e.g. found 1.20 but need: '>=1.23'). When attempting to build the gnome-gamma-tool, the following error message appears (despite Colord being installed):

Being productive in Plasma 5.23.2 - So I've heard KDE Plasma is bad with Wayland and multi-monitors...
It's very much possible with Wayland. Whether Plasma supports it is another question, unfortunately. Great program though, you can control it with commands and set an invert screen colors keybind.

How to invert screen colors?
What would be the best way to implement this? I tried wl-gammactl https://github.com/mischw/wl-gammactl with those settings but the screen just goes fully white?
-
Import gamma colors from X11 to Wayland
Probably it just support sway as said here on github

How to control OLED brightness in Wayland
Wayland is the protocol applications use to talk to compositors. What you need to control (this kind of-, since I assume you want a software overlay) brightness depends on the compositor/desktop environment you use. For wlroots based compositors (wayfire, sway) wl-gammactl or wlr-brightness could be useful. For Gnome (below version 40) the soft-brightness extension looks like what you need.
What are some alternatives?
wlroots-eglstreams - A modular Wayland compositor library with EGLStreams support
wlr-brightness - Adjust the brightness of wlroots-based compositors such as sway.
nvidia-patch - This patch removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions imposed by Nvidia to consumer-grade GPUs.
swaybg - Wallpaper tool for Wayland compositors
leftwm - A tiling window manager for Adventurers
swaylock - Screen locker for Wayland
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
kiwmi - A fully programmable Wayland Compositor
wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor
wdisplays - GUI display configurator for wlroots compositors
x11docker - Run GUI applications and desktops in docker and podman containers. Focus on security.
xcalib - Load 'vcgt'-tag of ICC profiles to X-server and MS-Windows. Works on calibration stage, which can be a precondition for display ICC color conversions.
