Easier than I thought it was going to be, but I had a ton of experience with various window managers under Xorg. The difference comes in swapping out certain tools for their wayland counterparts. Example using wofi or fuzzel, instead of rofi, imv, instead of feh, grim, instead of scrot, swaybg or hyprpaper, instead of nitrogen, mako, instead of dunst. The alternatives are there, you just have to make the necessary small adjustments.

If you want to try Hyprland check out this guy's video and config files. You can get a working and usable setup very easily.

For me, Hyprland, and wayland are the way forward. There's no going back to X11. Grins

wofi is not maintained anymore, and rofi runs on Wayland!

Personally, I use fuzzel. For those looking for replacement apps under wayland, here's a place to start your search.
