Sick and tired so naturally I decided to play around with neuswc, neuwld, hevel, and wsxwm on #OpenBSD. (Links can be found on wayland.fyi because I ain't doing all that.)

The good news: I got all four to compile.

The bad news: wsxwm seems to silently crash and foot doesn't play nice with hevel so I have no way of knowing if it actually works lol.

(I'm sure the struggle is my fault—had to do some Makefile wrangling and attempting to sub out a Linux syscall, and I haven't enabled DRM because I'm on AMD, and the repo for neuwld focuses on Intel and Nvidia. So I'm just kinda stumbling my way around a bit.)

One fun thing I've noticed is that Wayland on OpenBSD—and this is true of swayas well, not just my bumbling attempts to build these projects—prevents me from switching to a different TTY with Ctrl-Alt-Fn. Again, presumably my fault, but I dunno.
