Things that used to work will get broken. The fact that taking a screenshot on Wayland took something like a decade to sort out speaks volumes as to the downsides of this approach.

It'll be worth it in the long term, but short term it'll probably hurt.

> screenshot on wayland Also note that the solution (at least in wlroots-based compositors) seems to allow any program running as the logged-in user to screenshot or record any portion of the screen; the same as on X. Though flatpack apps need to use special permission that grants them access to only parts of your screen.
