Wake me when they add screen grab.
What do you mean by "screen grab"?
Screenshots. Print screen. Wayland famously doesn't have a way to do this very basic task (all of the desktop environments had to add custom extensions).
Seems like they finally did it though really recently. And it only took 12 years!
Oh shit! I hadn't heard they'd finally added that. That's awesome.
Maybe that means FFMPEG and Zoom will start supporting it soon.
On my personal systems, I use Sway (a Wayland compositor). And I sometimes wish I could do screen grab with FFMPEG, but so far I haven't wanted that enough to actually switch to X11 or use wl-screenrec.
On my work machine, I'm on Ubuntu and I have to use Zoom and screen sharing is kindof a non-negotiable thing. (Plus, FFMPEG screen grab is nice to have on my work machine as well.) So I use i3-gaps on xorg-server. Except for those two things, I'd rather use Sway.
