    It is not getting new features anymore. Just because the distro is packaging it doesn't mean it's not dead.

    I heard Sway is very similar to i3. But I'm partial to hyprland myself

    I'll say that while it still has features that Wayland doesn't it's not dead, it doesn't get updates yes but it still used by a lot of people for the fact that Wayland just doesn't support some stuff that x11 does. Great example I have is TeamViewer and Nvidia+KDE

    You made exactly the point I was trying to make.

    I guess "dead" is a matter of definition in this case. 🙂

    While TeamViewer is definitely neglected I use it often on Wayland and it works well actually!

    In the past year or so it doesn't shut down correctly. But the core functionality works well.

    I've been experimenting with Rustdesk as an alternative because I doubt they'll update the Linux client anytime soon. The Windows version looks like an entirely different application at this point

    In terms of feature parity. I believe the only thing left is global hotkeys, which hyprland proved it can be done.

    I love me some hyprland, it's minimal enough to run on my 4gb ram foldable laptop with the same animations I have on my main laptop & desktop.

    Wayland x Nvidia aside (on my laptop) it's the perfect minimal environment for me.
