I'm thankful they're finally doing something about vsync, but I'm still going to need the option for preventing app sleep when outside of viewport. It sounds like an odd complaint, but it means not being able to have a game on one virtual desktop and its wiki on the other. It means not being able to let music run while I'm working on another computer. It's running better, and I'm glad to see it starting to play nicer with Nvidia, but not quite ready to make the leap 100%

What I'm missing from wayland, it's not really something from wayland itself. Examples are several needed electron based applications, which some will refuse to properly work (for meetings, desktop sharing, etc), wine, gtk4 applications not respecting GDK_DPI_SCALE (not sure if already addressed) when not using gnome (wayfire being used as compositor), no proper support for conky (or eventually equivalent wayland functionality) yet, and several nuances with waybar, and some other tools. Major issue is my work dependency over some non floss electron binary blobs, like teams, slack, and so on, which particularly for desktop sharing and meetings don't yet work properly, no matter the electron options one can use for them, and some floss I use like signal, freetube, jitsi. Wine has a horrible hack, which I might live with, but it's horrible...

So I'll have to wait further for non wayland stuff to truly support wayland, and it has taken ages for that to happen, :(

I haven't tried labwc, andit sounds interesting, though I don't like openbox configs, and I really love fluxbox ways, which are also text files, but I never got used to openbox configs, perhaps just because I got way too familiar with fluxbox, which is what I use with Xorg (fluxbox + picom + tint2 + conky).

Can Wayland tunnel through ssh?

Can't be that good. I did a kde archinstall on a friends desktop just last week, 2070super with proprietary drivers, and wayland crashes on login. T_T

I've been using wayland for years but I'm running AMD.

I was recently trying to set up headless Wayland session with wayvnc and labwc but I really wish there was a more basic pre-configured out-of-the-box lightweight window manager like IceWM for Wayland...

so Budgie guys doing some work :)

Vamos

I tried the Manjaro Sway image and liked it a lot. Felt much nicer than i3. But... there is no alternative to Barrier that works with Wayland and that forced me to go back to i3 and X. And please don't bother to list all Wayland alternatives for Barrier, because I tried them all and none is comparable.

I didn't have an opinion on this until I tried to disable right click on a ubuntu machine with Wayland. It needs an xmodmap style tool.

switched to sway on pinephone and main computer, and will never go back to xorg (i hope!)

Anyone have a nice "Will Wayland work and how to switch" guide? I haven't used it ever, but the time will come soon enough.

As soon as Wayland supports muffin, I'll drop xorg like a bad habit.
