>Stuff like screen sharing was annoying at first, but I can't even remember the last time I noticed I was on wayland.

Does this mean screen sharing actually works on Wayland? Before I abandoned Manjaro for macOS (mostly because I needed the M1 battery life), it default-switched to Wayland after some updates and I only discovered on a work call that Wayland screensharing was broken. That was early this year.

The details are fuzzy to me now, and my situation may have been odd as I had changed hardware from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD APU, but it was astounding as an end user that that was the state of this "production ready, replace everything under the sun with it" software.

It does work well via the browser. Zoom is a lottery of pain.
