Might be the reason I switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE. While it solves problems for some, it's not ready for others. One of the few (legit) reasons to use Linux is the dynamic tiling window managers. -Wayland (atm) takes away that reason.

Hyprland is also a Wayland tiling WM/Compositor.
AFAIK, it just came out of 'early development', and I haven't seen any publicity on it since. It's also only supported by a few distros. -Fedora isn't one, and considering it's one of the distros that's pushing hard on Wayland.
Not sure what you mean with "early development". Yes, it does not have a 1.0 yet, but neither does Pipewire. It is packaged for some distributions, Arch being one of them. So I'm just saying it's an option. Just like Sway is not in every distro. Wayland is still "new" compared to X11, so it will take time to really get adopted.
I used to have Dolby Digital and DTS audio. I don't anymore, thanks to Pipewire. Meanwhile, my custom DWM works flawlessly.
Is Sway not an option?
Sway isn't dynamic. Sway is for idiots that try to do everything 'new user-friendly' when it's barely any easier (if at all) than much better options.
