OK, but he specifically mentioned “it means I have no Wayland”. So does Wayland work?


I haven't used Wayland in years and have no real intention of trying to again until x11 becomes unusable so I can't answer that.

My initial interactions with waylands, years ago, including attempting to write a compositor from scratch, left a very source taste in my mouth and the strong impression that wayland was going in the wrong direction. Some things have no doubt changed by now, and a lot of cost has been sunk into it, so I'm deleting my rehashing of some of those concerns as no longer relevant, but I just have no interest in being an early adopter of it.


I can launch wayland gnome sessions but they be janky as hell. It’s almost got me about to switch to KDE when I get a little time.
