Many, bsdstats.org should have some numbers from those who opted in. wlroots-based compositors have very good support and can be tested without leaving the comfort zone of xorg-server: - x11-wm/cage: kiosk, good for nesting - x11-wm/hikari: stacking with some tiling, developed on FreeBSD - x11-wm/sway: manual tiling, often first to adopt new wlroots features - x11-wm/wayfire: stacking with some tiling, many plugins Elsewhere the situation isn't as good (correct me): - Gnome Wayland is stable upstream but not ported due to logind (from systemd) - KDE5 on Wayland maybe buggy upstream and hasn't been QA'd on FreeBSD by kde@ team yet - Enlightenment in ports/ currently fails to build with Wayland support - Weston port is abandoned due to being poor fit for day-to-day usage I'm using Sway myself primarily with X11 applications. For example, "vblank_mode=0 glxgears" shows 3x more FPS than on real Xorg server. ;)
