Given the amount of times I've had a GPU driver crash bring down my shell, no. What's worse it that Ctrl Alt F* keys break forcing you to hard reboot or SSH into your own computer to restart it.

As someone moving towards a Wayland-only environment (not counting Xwayland), Sway is one of my go-to environments. I personally like to find out about upcoming releases. I get that people have different interests, but Sway is definitely of interest to many in the Linux space.

I wonder: Does sway support HDR and / or VRR? I always posponed buying a new monitor because I couldn't use half the featureset anyway...

Finally support for ext-foreign-toplevel-list!
Hope more compositors follow soon!
