  1. I am very unlikely to switch away from KDE Plasma 6
  2. I would anyways like to try Sway or the like
  3. I dont use virtual desktops and find just navigating through a bottom taskbar makes more sense for me
  4. I have many apps fullscreen, and would never tile more than once vertically, as I am on a Laptop
  5. I want: NightLight, tray icons, a good app menu, many KDE Apps (Dolphin, Kate, Ark, Gwenview, Spectacle Edit feature at least)

Are Wayland WMs ready for this use case? What would you recommend to fill these exact requirements?

Openbox could do most things that Kwin could

And that was back when both used XOrg to do the heavy lifting.

Wayfire is used in a lot of minimal desktops. Raspberry PiOS uses it for their new Wayland desktop.
