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.

What are the chances of SwayFX being added to the repo ? I see someone had put in a PR but it was never accepted and also the package is now at version 0.3 whereas the person who put in the PR is still at 0.2 since April. Would it be bad practice for me to put in an updated PR that works as I'd be keen to maintain that package for sure ?
You... might be able to, kind of, depending on your goal... So the thing is, if all you need is a single screen (or at least, I've not run this multi-monitor) and you're just working around drivers that don't support Xorg, you can just run cage ( https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage ), run xwayland on that, and run your real GUI on that. Of course, then you're skipping all the advantages of wayland except hardware/driver compatibility.
For "real" wayland, sibling comments are correct that you'd need a wayland compositor that reimplemented awesome.
🔶 Wayland a minimal and secure display server 🔷Louvre high-performance C++ library designed for building Wayland compositors Phoronix analysis for Louvre i know wlroots exist but i'm excited to try new compositors build by Louvre.
For example, if you are interested in 2D software rendering, check out antigrain library (https://github.com/ghaerr/agg-2.6) - it uses a lot of templates and interesting patterns that maybe you want to get familiar with, and as a bonus it has nice features that you can understand after few days exploring of that codebase.
