I tried niri this spring and had several issues trying to get copy-pasting between Wayland and X (Xwayland) working. Think I had some other problems as well that were a dealbreaker that I can't recall at the moment. Anyway, have you had an issues like this? I assume Gnome does a lot of work to make it seamless, maybe Quickshell does something similar?

I tried Niri, but couldn't figure out how to get good enough support for X programs. Specifically I had issues with the clipboard, I couldn't copy passwords from 1Password (X) and paste them into Firefox (Wayland). Niri doesn't seem interested in having built-in first class support for X and I'm not interested in maintaining it for myself either.

I use Purelymail to send emails from my personal domain (admin@domain.tld) from my self-hosted stuff and to forward emails to my personal domain to my gmail, and it works great for that. I only use it for hobby projects so I'm not too bothered by the lack of audits or a bus factor of 1.

Worked a place where we switched from having a client library to making the other teams use our APIs directly themselves. Of course, we had to do the switch for them because they were too busy... Pretty much just copy-pasted the library code directly into their projects.
