No, running sway with the --unsupported-gpu flag launches it without any remarks about your hardware. It's been like this for a good while.
Amazing text! I was just commenting how ridiculous the article is this morning and now you have written a more lenghty criticism.
As for the Zoom bit. I will add my 2 years experience of using it on Wayland on Artix as well as Void Linux - I never used Gnome and it worked fine on Sway and River on my iGPU. In between a few updates I did face a few crashes of zoom when rendering on my nvidia gpu but it was still fine. I have not used zoom in over an year so I can't comment on how it is now.
As for "wayland does not work properly on nvidia." Solely nvidia is blame. They have been pushing out patches to bring out more support but it's just nvidia who can fix that in the end. While I would not want to assume what hardware the author uses. Wayland works like butter on my Intel hardware.
Great alternatives for xclip and many other X-tools are already in the market.
The VSync issue on wayland is genuine. Disabling it in-game does not affect anything because it is enforced by the compositor. VSync is an integral part of Wayland Compositioning (acc. to the wlroots dev) but a solution to automatically disable it in full screen applications, etc is down the pipeline and work is ongoing. I have not been following it but I think some fixes were already released, I could be wrong.
As for X11 Atoms: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41005297/x-to-wayland-what-about-atoms Just boils down to the application dev's willingness to port the app to Wayland. The author of the 'boycott wayland' article seems to just want wayland to implement Xorg 1:1 for it to not fail their stupid standard of what-should-be-boycotted. And at that point Wayland is not Wayland but Xorg.
Most of the arguments presented in the 'Boycott Wayland' article are either generic issues being worked upon by the devs or things that don't have much relevance but put down in a manner as if to almost fear-monger that Wayland is the spawn of the devil and must not be used at all.
Funny, the Liberals think Pro-Hamas is bad.

The rest were possibly Anti-Personnel mines instead. Those do not usually require the potential of Anti-Tank mines.
Artix Linux (w/ Runit) & Void Linux. Interestingly although I started using Linux from Jan 2022, I have used these 2 distros 95% of that time. The rest 5% being Endeavour OS on which I started my journey into Linux.
Due to older hardware and my natural curiousity to learn more about the System. I switched to Artix very early into Linux. The Runit Init system and the fact I chose a base iso (i.e. everything in the system apart from the Core was hand picked and configured by me) made my PC very fast and flexible. I found it quite inconvenient to work and learn w/ and in EndeavourOS. Artix provided me that canvas and it helped me a lot. One possible future con might be that I find it a bit more effort to troubleshoot more popular Distros, in case I need to, because I rarely use non-tui or non-cli programs and I have never worked on Systemd. Fortunately there are always the Arch Wiki or the Program Manuals.
I switched to Void Linux from Artix because Artx, being Arch-Based was a bit unstable whereas Void is a stable-rolling release, sort of like a middle ground between Debian and Arch and so it fits my dynamic. Otherwise it is as good as Artix in other cases.

I will also probably block the user if they don't provide a source soon enough. Idk if they exactly are a bot. I guess they use a self bot to post stuff sometimes but I can't be sure. Growing up in a region of extreme superstition and anti-science misinformation which is shamefully also riddling the internet. I can't digest any piece of information uncritically without a valid source confirming it. It's such a nuisance and waste of time and resources when people share information without citing their references/sources.
Always did on my hardware at least. When I was using Windows, my old laptop started lagging very much and it was becoming unbearable. I could not get a new one immediately. I got to know about Linux one day and installed it to try it out because there was not really anything else I could try.
I could not believe myself how buttery smooth my laptop became after that. 95% of the games that I used to play on Windows run with more performance on Linux.
