From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

and there is also wofi for rofi.
And there's lbonn's fork of rofi with native wayland support. It opens faster than wofi.
Edit: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi
It's in some repos available as rofi-wayland.
Didn't know about that. Nice one.
Yes, and it's pretty good, if not as flexible as rofi.
And dmenu-wayland.
Awesome, will give this a try on a new Arch install with hypr
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a go.
Been using this with Sway since the start of the year, and it's been wonderful.
The thing I miss from rofi is the ssh/mosh support with history. I haven't been able to replicate that on any of the other alternatives.
I initially missed SSH support from Rofi, but just changed my workflow to open a terminal and then use Fish with the history autocomplete history to quickly select a host to SSH to.
