Wayland is breaking a solid 30%-40% of everything on my computer right now, but I want to be better prepared for if/when I don’t have an x11 option.

Is there a forum or place where people listen and actually try to help you find fixes/workarounds for Wayland problems?

    I tried Wayland for a day but went back to x11 (using KDE Neon) because of annoyances. Mostly input-related issues:

    – I used Fusuma to remap extra mouse buttons, which doesn’t work anymore

    – Touchpad scrolling is buggy and pinch to zoom barely works

    – Espanso has a Wayland version but doesn’t work most of the time

    – select with shift+arrow and release shift: it also releases the arrow so you have to press it again (seems small but annoys me)

    And there’s problems with windows opening on the wrong screen and then completely crashing when you try to move it (under Wine with full screen at least), and some apps with weird behaviors like drag and drop not working.
