It saddens me to see you being downvoted by the Wayland evangelists when it is CLEARLY not a stable(EDIT: feature complete) replacement for X11 yet. If I could upvote you twice, I would.
I’ll never make the claim that X11 is perfect, but my use case requires features that are either not built into Wayland yet or simply won’t be built into it in the future.
I’m sure it’s a fine product, but asking me to change my workflow to use it is a non-starter. When it reaches feature complete support of X11 functionality, I’ll consider changing.
It’s not that I have issues - it works just fine in the domain it’s designed for. It’s that the Wayland system does not provide feature parity with X11. I make extensive use of window manipulation using xdotool and wmctrl for my daily use case, and those are both unsupported on Wayland. It’s a fine system for users whose use case fit with its design. It is not a feature complete replacement for X11.
True considering 90% of linux desktops are still x11 only outside of kde and gnome (they use x11 as fallback)
So, 90% of Linux users are using Wayland already?
No I mean 90% of desktops support x11 not users

If only x11 worked well in the first place. But its many flaws are never going to addressed because the developers only work on Wayland

@mycodesucks @Mwa Wayland is so stable what r u talking about
what issues are you having on wayland? I run nvidia+intel and it’s completely fine (way faster on old machines too)
