Sometimes apps just don't work properly in Wayland, I have two development VMs with Ubuntu, and in both cases I had to switch to X11 because of UI issues with Wayland and eclipse plugins or crashes when I closed a terminal window.

On the other hand I use Wayland on my own desktop and have not seen any problems.

Sway can't set my 3 displays as extended like I can with i3 with xorg.

Also I recently wanted to try to record on OBS with sway to rule out an issue that I have with my AMD card with colors, and I wasn't able to get OBS to work, installed xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, set the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway environment variable and didn't work.

Also for some reason my xfce4 apps are ignoring my xdg base dir variables (I have config and cache inside ~/.local) when using either sway or hyprland and that results in issues with my theming and the creation of the .config and .cache dirs in home again, what is weird is that it only happens with the xfce apps.

EDIT: I was able to test OBS on hyprland instead of sway and the issue with the colors is still present even on wayland.

Using a 3060 on Wayland, Ubuntu LTS. Some performance issues here and there, big problem I discovered is zoom screen sharing pretty much not working.

I login with my x session when I know I'll need to present something.

xdotool. I just spent a non zero amount of time building and setting up ydotool (a similar tool that works on Wayland) as a systemd service on my raspberry pi. Made me appreciate how nice it is to just install a thing and have it work flawlessly even after a reboot and all you ever did to set it up was a single installation command that completed in like 3 seconds.

SSH tunneling

I can't complain, installed Fedora 39 Kinoite and everything is working great. The only thing I have noticed is that drag and drop from dolphin into some flatpak applications is not working; But that is pretty much it and I am not even sure if Wayland is causing this. This is honestly the most usable Linux has ever been for me.

Not really, I have some small annoyances with wayland, but nothing major, with the biggest one being windows not remembering their position on logout, meaning I have to re-arrange them every time I logout/reboot... That and if the compositor crashes, it takes all windows with it, doesn't happen often but is a real pain whenever it does happen.

• Unattended remote desktop solutions
  • Rustdesk
  • Meshcentral
• Software KVM (Synergy/Barrier)

All work in progress, I know, but at the moment none of them work as good as in Xorg.

My understanding is that 'barrier' doesn't work in Wayland. That's a showstopper for me, unfortunately.

Just random things like screen sharing not working in all applications or having weird issues with connecting more than 2 monitors.

Screen tearing in Firefox

Edit: to reword, I lack Firefox screen tearing on Wayland but I have it on Xorg.

Oh man, reminds me of trying to use slightly non-standard monitor with wayland.
X? Just tell it to be the resolution/refresh rate. Wayland? Just get fucked.

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it's a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn't happen with X11.

I got one of those NUCs at work that has new Intel XE integrated graphics. X11 works amazing, but wayland operates like a slideshow when I move windows around. Never looked much into it, just went to X11 and never went back.

Can you screenshare with wayland?

I can't run console apps like jdupes through mtp protocol in wayland which is very troublesome for me since i using it alot, but i successfully can run it in xorg because it mounts as a folder not as protocol, and yes I've tried to use gui "open this folder in terminal" in wayland programs like jdupes still don't work through mtp but in xorg they do regardless of how i do it

well it doesnt work on my graphics card for one.
