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.
