Same, I used to run it a lot, but I went back to it recently and have not really managed to make it work. I'm using sway, and I have hit a whole bunch of issues:
* Have to use 14-CURRENT to support my RDNA2 graphics card at all. This was not simple.
* Systemd sucks, but on Linux when I start a sway session it co-ordinates all the xdg-desktop-portal-wlr / pipewire / pipewire-media-session (I think). There doesn't seem to be a freebsd equivalent for user level services. Although dbus / consolekit seems to be doing something, I don't understand why or how.
* Sound is just broken. My usb headset gives constant loud feedback, by bluetooth dongle spams the dmesg until it eventually gives up and my hda card seems to work in all the mixers but no sound is forthcoming.
* Firefox with wayland on just loses the compositor connection almost instantly. Alacratty seems fine though, as is xwayland.
* My webcam doesn't work, in firefox it's blank, in chrome the video is corrupted.
* I have no idea how to configure XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to get created a login with the right permissions etc on tmpfs. I could leave it on zfs of course but apparently that's problematic.
