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?
well I was looking for a forum to start cataloging it but off the top of my head:
copyq
gnome-pie
miss assigning xwayland
not recognizing USB c monitors seen by xrandr
window taring
sudo commands
executable binaries
lots more
Wayland is breaking sudo?
Probably something like “sudo this_gui_app”. This is not possible under Wayland. But who knows? This guy is being as vague as possible with details.
copyq has some guidance for wayland issues:

…but some things such as global shortcuts may depend on your choice of compositor, GNOME has no support at all for example.
It seems some people transition easily to wayland and some do not, it really depends on your setup unfortunately. Maybe it’ll get easier over time.
For a gnome-pie replacement, try Kando
