Multi-monitor i3 really ruins virtually any non-i3 multi-monitor, with a few exception of other tiling window managers, I think.

I heard KDE introducing something similar, but I can't imagine it being as convenient.

I'm thinking of migrating to sway on a full-AMD machine I have, but I think it had shown me some attitude a couple of times and I didn't bother further.

Aside from the best practices and safety, what can Wayland provide to me on a mostly-work machine? I know I'll miss .Xresources for the colors across multiple applications, though.

I'm taking the same approach for my main work laptop. As long as X11 is working, I probably won't bother moving to wayland/sway.
