Yup! I only need a couple more applications and I'll be able to switch.

• Helix (editor), written in Rust. There have been reports it already runs, so this may already be checked.
• ncurses. Because I mostly run TUI applications on the desktop, and several of the projects I maintain depend on it. There's a recipe for ncursesw, so maybe checked.
• Go. I don't, and won't, program Rust. Happy to use programs written in it, it's just not for me.
• Something like Herbstluftwm. Or River. Tiling and no configuration file are my only requirements. Orbital has no tiled mode.
• zsh. I write bash until I need zsh features, but if it needs more than zsh provides I jump to Go. I use bash as much as possible for little utilities because it's ubiquitous, and Ion isn't, and I don't live on only one computer.

Just three more little eensy weensy things. Hardly anything.

I still haven't switched to Wayland - it's about time to do my bi-yearly check in and see if it's still broken - but maybe I'll just wait and jump completely to RedoxOS.
