Wayland is breaking a solid 30%-40% of everything on my computer right now, but I want to be better prepared for if/when I don't have an x11 option.

Is there a forum or place where people listen and actually try to help you find fixes/workarounds for Wayland problems?

to help communicate and troubleshoot what is broken here, we need to think of Wayland as a protocol just like HTTP is a protocol

saying "Wayland broke X" is like saying "HTTP broke X", which is possible but not likely to be what you're actually trying to say

rather, we need to be talking about the implementation(s) of the protocol, not the protocol itself

e.g. "HTTP broke X" -> "Google Chrome broke X"

e.g. "Wayland broke X" -> "GNOME broke X"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
