>> that new thing which doesn't work in so many cases it's laughable, even after 11 years.

I've been using Wayland for years now and it works great. The one and only thing I use X for is OBS studio because they're still working out the window capture stuff, which BTW mean poking the right hole through security that X doesnt even have.

Most the things that don't work well on Wayland are old junk.

Do you use Chrome? Scrolling with a touchpad still doesn’t work on Wayland (it emulates discrete mouse wheel scrolling, rather than going pixel-by-pixel).

There is IIRC some chrome setting that fixes this, but it doesn’t help with chrome-based electron apps that don’t expose the internal settings (like Slack).

Another problematic area is input method editors, mostly because IMEs and applications using them have not implemented the respective protocols on Wayland yet.
