> Maybe this is a Gnome issue?
I actually listed a range of issues. Some are in Gnome. Others are in KDE. Yet others are in the toolkits (e.g. the Qt popup menu problem). And still others are in the applications themselves (e.g. Firefox has a whole menu of Wayland-specific bugs).

I had a ton of issues with QT menus until the latest patches from KDE hit Arch's QT packages. Fixed them

Ooh! Interesting! Will look at these. So far I've reported a couple Qt bugs, well, they got priorities but no fix so far:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87303
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87332
If KDE patches actually make menus work okay, that's great. I've been wondering how KDE deals with the bugginess of the wayland QPA, turns out the answer's simple and not KDE-exclusive, nice.
upd: seems like no popup constraint adjustment is set on the kde/5.15 branch. Hopefully there are other improvements though…

There was an update for OBS recently, which sounds like it fixed the Wayland issues.

Pipewire will solve I believe the last major blocker for wayland. I believe OBS already has a pipewire-aware version, and both firefox and chrome (with a bit of tinkering in settings) supports it.

I like sway a lot, but I also encountered many bugs with its implementation. For example, it's drag and drop and focus switching randomly breaks when interacting with Xwayland windows. It also breaks resume/suspend if you have multiple GPUs. I finally went back to pure X11 and everything just works and is snappy. I miss the Wayland tear-free experience though.
The main issues I encounter are about screen sharing. At the moment it does not work for wayland apps (i.e. wayland apps don't show up in the share this). Supposedly there is a way around it, but I've not yet needed to investigate. The other issue is OBS not working (I guess also because of screensharing). And the third issue is some weird bug in Zoom, where if I open the participant or chat window, it becomes extremely laggy. So much so that I can't really type in the chat window because there is such a strong lag, that I finished typing before the word appears. Similarly the video feed becomes choppy.
One other issue was that Pycharm was having issue opening some menus/windows but that seems to have been fixed now.
