Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
Wayland provides little by design, so this is quite typical. For example:
Screensharing is handled by pipewire [0], changing keyboard layouts aren't defined [1] by wayland, and generally anything Wayland devs think would 'corrupt' their protocol.
They leave most things to the compositor to implement, which leads to significant fragmentation as every compositor implements it differently.
Long gone are the days of xset and xdotool working across nearly every distro due to a common base, now the best you'll get is running a daemon as root to directly access `/dev/uinput` [2] or implementing each compositors accessibility settings (if they have them) as a workaround.

how hard is it to program pinch zoom for my touchpad in linux?
I personally use libinput-gestures to call commands using touchpad gestures. You can also combine it with ydotool to bind macros and such to your gestures, e.g. 4 fingers swipe down closes the current window, 3 fingers swipe left or right changes workspace, etc

ydotoold background process?
Have you tried using the systemd unit file supplied with ydotool? It's probably installed somewhere on your system. Else you can get it here and just change the install location of ydotoold.

KDE-Connect keyboard input works on Wayland now!!
For simulated keyboard there are tools such as dotool or ydotool and KeePass extensions such as KPUInput that work by giving the user access to /dev/uinput. That works, but it's a bit inelegant; I guess in the future a Wayland protocol for simulated keyboard input will emerge, like wlroots already has, also for virtual pointers.

Out of curiosity, I tried to use Wayland earlier and compared to X11, everything seems to load faster which really surprised me. However, I've also noticed some things that confused me, that's why I'm posting this. To ask what I'm missing or what I did wrong. Thanks as always!
ydotool is the generic equivalent. It works on both X11 and Wayland environments.

Curious to know what are your general experiences on using keyboard and mouse input automations on Wayland...
Autokey does not work yet, but there is Hawck and Espanso that you could play around with. And there is ydotool if all you need is simulating basic input (as in ydotool mousemove -x -10 -y -10, ydotool type 'Hello world!' and so on).

Does ydotool do what you need? I haven't even tried Wayland in years. I'm sure someday I'll find the need.

Wayland breaks your bad software
I've been wanting to try http://hyprland.org/, but since plasma gets me far enough and provides a working taskbar (wifi, sound, bluetooth, mount, clipboard) and virtual desktops on which I end up opening just firefox and emacs I haven't really given it a chance.

Hyprland Crash Course
Hyprland builds using a pinned commit of wlroots instead of a tagged release because wlroots release schedule is too slow for Hyprland's development [0]
This turns into a problem for maintainers because many distributions refuse to ship non tagged versions of software
Hyprland used to depend on wlroots-git, but when it made the switch to use specific pinned commits a lot more distributions started to package it [1], but some still refuse to do so such as Debian.

Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
I have Hyprland a try some weeks/months ago, and seemingly it had a video memory leak where after some hours of usage, it ended up taking more than 5GB of VRAM, with no signs of slowing down.
I found one issue (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1504) mentioning something similar, but it was closed and I was still experiencing the same issue, so not sure what's going on.
Gnome3 doesn't manifest the same issue, so worth checking out if it happens to you if you're curious about moving from Gnome to Hyprland.

RubyWM – an X11 window manager in pure Ruby
I've been an X11 holdout since forever, but after nvidia proprietary drivers broke for the millionth time on a system upgrade, I switched over to Nouveau and the "Hyprland" tiling compositor on Wayland. It's the only setup that felt worth the upgrade to me. Setup was easy, animations are very slick (scroll down on the link below for a sample), and I've had no bugs or quirks. Highly recommend checking it out if you're bored or curious.

Is there any transparent themes for GTK 2 or QT?
I did some research as far as I know there isn't really a way for it to have a transparent window but not transparent text although I found this, basically change the opacity of the window/program. You can also set active and inactive opacity on the window if that's any help.

Regular package vs git package
Therefore I am considering switching to hyprland-nvidia-git, but when I look at its AUR page (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprland-nvidia-git) it says 0.31 as the version, whereas the latest version is 0.32 (https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases). I thought the git package would be cutting edge "automatically", but perhaps I'm missing something...?
