TUMBLEWEED Wayland alternatives to X11 commands

Since Wayland had a few years to mature and last time I tried it Plasma / KWin didn't crash immediately, I'm hoping to start using it permanently at some point in the near future. There's just one problem: I occasionally use some X11 utilities which would then become obsolete. A few examples at hand of stuff I worked with:


  • x11vnc: I enable this and let it run in the background when I go away, in case I might need the ability to use remote desktop on my PC from there.
  • xrandr: I use this occasionally to adjust monitors, such as enabling a VR headset to run in the desktop and mirror my screen.
  • xset: Had to use this recently to debug monitor standby not working, and it seems to have other system uses too.


I was wondering if there's a list of Wayland alternative to those X11 commands and more, so if I need to do anything I did in X I can do it in WL too. At least the replacement for xrandr would be good to be aware of, others I can probably handle in time.
