"Things don't work the way they do in x.org" summarizes about 90% of the Wayland complaints I've seen. Well, guess what? X.org stopped being maintained about 15 years ago. No one wants to maintain it, so you have to adapt. Boo hoo.

That is not what I said, please don't misquote me. I said:
> [things] don't _just_ work like they do in x.org
Maybe it wasn't clear in my post above so let me clarify. A lot of thing "just work" in x.org and don't in wayland compositors. That is the complaint. That things which were easy are now hard.
> so you have to adapt
No I don't. X11 works perfectly well for me. Wayland doesn't. Until I can migrate without issue, I'll be sticking with what works. If it gets to a point where Linux becomes unusable for me, I'll just move to an OS that works. Linux isn't the only game in town. Boo hoo.
