Always that reflex against Wayland - as someone who has switched to Linux not so long ago i have a hard time with the mindset long time Linux users have against Wayland. I understand that it might be annoying if someone is used to his X-Server and that some tools that people are used to for a decade will get left behind. But as a new user I do not have anything negative to say about Wayland. It behaves nicely with my multi-monitor setup and VRR, has no issues with my Nvidia graphics card, and Xwayland covers tools that can't or won't migrate. Using Pipewire allows Steam Remote Play. In the year or so since i switched to Linux, the stability has changed from "it's ok, but annoys me sometimes" to "rock-solid".

Y'all have to recognize that there is a new generation of Linux Users around, which does not have nostalgic feelings towards X, and for those Wayland is simply the normal way things run. Whining will not change that.

    Very much pro-Wayland in my case.

    Just saying that certain CEF/Electron apps (especially those running on older Chromium version) are what is causing certain Wayland specific issues, hence my issue is on the application side (Steam, Spotify etc.), not on Wayland's side... My bad for the badly worded post which made it seem like the classical "Wayland bad!" posts.

    I haven't touched X11/Xorg in years, nor am I planning on reverting back to it anytime.
