  • >Wayland has existed since more than 10 years and it has still not been able to release a usable system.

    Fedora has has it on by default for about 4 years now and its perfectly usable. I use it every day.

    The problem is much more serious than you are explaining. While using X, on my main monitor, UI and text becomes so small I can not even read it or click the icons. I'm not talking about the window size, but the UI and text size. With wayland the app can switch from 200% scale to 100% scale as it crosses the window border. On X you must pick either 100% or 200% and stick with it on all monitors.

  • Its extremely slow and does not support CUDA. I think the problem is nvidia blocks them somehow from changing the clock speed on the gpu so it gets stuck running in its slowest speed.

  • Wayland already provides a less buggy and more polished experience than X did for me. So I'd say job well done.

  • >Hats off to the Wayland devs. We're cheering you from the sidelines.

    Its pretty horrible how much toxic crap gets directed at the people who actually do all of the work. Just look at the amount of abuse has been flung at the SystemD developers from people who largely do not even know what it does.

  • You could try it in chrome which has wayland support. Wayland support was added to chrome and electron recently but it looks like most electron apps are on old versions.
