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).

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
Does ydotool do what you need? I haven't even tried Wayland in years. I'm sure someday I'll find the need.

I Know What Your Password Was Last Summer
> I always tell these people to just sign up for a password manager and they always resist and say no. I must be missing something obvious.
Maybe they don't want to be relying on a random third-party for all their passwords?
Rather than getting them to sign up for a password manager, what about getting them to install a password manager? I use https://www.passwordstore.org/ - it encrypts your passwords with GPG, and shares the storage via a Git repository for synchronisation between different machines.

Command Line Interface Guidelines
That way you can delegate the password handling to another program, e.g. a password manager like pass(1) (https://www.passwordstore.org/) or some interactive graphical prompt.

Passit: Open-Source Password Manager
I want to move to something compatible with https://www.passwordstore.org/ - an open standard for keeping your passwords in a folder encrypted with OpenPGP.
The problem is that I'm nervous to give an unknown Android app and browser plugin total control of my passwords and access to my github account when I don't have time to review it's code properly. I have a bit more trust ing the command line tools, but I'd like to be sure that more people are looking at the code before I trust my life to it.

Ask HN: Best Password Manager without cloud login?
> Create a system or pattern based on url or brand and mentally hash it into a password.
Doesn't sound very secure. Also when you realize that you anyway have to trust cryptography, I believe it starts making a lot of sense to have an actual cryptographic key and encrypt it with one good random password you learn by heart.
I use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/, which encrypts my passwords with my GPG key, which comes from my Yubikey, which I unlock with a password. That means that I only need to remember one password, and it feels a lot more secure than your pattern based on url or brand.

Best way to store and Encrypt passwords? Need advice on my method...
If you want portability and simplicity, there's a project called simply pass that uses standard *nix utilities (and git, I believe) to manage passwords from CLI.

Bitwarden Broken in Linux
0. Pass is just text files encrypted with gpg. I needed just one password on one work computer, where I had my gpg key, but not all my passwords. Decrypted the file and that was it.
1. There are plugins and web clients: https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions

Bitwarden Adds Support for Passkeys
I've been incredibly happy with https://www.passwordstore.org/ for years. The data store is a file hierarchy, with the files themselves encrypted with GPG. Sync is via git. TOTP support with a plugin.
What are some alternatives?
xdotool - fake keyboard/mouse input, window management, and more
vaultwarden - Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs
wtype - xdotool type for wayland
gopass - The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams
AutoKey - AutoKey, a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.
Bitwarden - The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc).
evsieve - A utility for mapping events from Linux event devices.
rofi-pass - rofi frontend for pass
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
KeeWeb - Free cross-platform password manager compatible with KeePass
key-mapper - 🎮 An easy to use tool to change the mapping of your input device buttons. [Moved to: https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper]
Pass4Win - Windows version of Pass (http://www.passwordstore.org/)
