For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to “remap” keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.

Secondly there’s XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.

None of these have Wayland alternatives as far as I know. For text expansion there’s Espanso, but it doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts yet.

    Even on X11?

    yup. i think it had something to do with video calls or screen sharing, which are essential at work

      That makes sense. Nouveau isn’t mature for some use cases yet, even though they made a huge jump with NVK. Hardware upgrade might be closer than you think then.
