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.
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.
SSH tunneling
All work in progress, I know, but at the moment none of them work as good as in Xorg.
I have an nvidia card and run Wayland with KDE. Other than some bugs and crashes, no other complains
Something wayland lacks but Xorg has?
Basic functionality. Anyone that actually thinks Wayland is ready either doesn't use it or is just straight coping. Maybe it'll get there, but... honestly, probably not.
Come back to me when I don't need to treat wayland like a bethesda game and install a bunch of mods, plugins, packages, and do a bunch of other crap just to get basic functionality.
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.
Just random things like screen sharing not working in all applications or having weird issues with connecting more than 2 monitors.
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.
Tooling.
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
My understanding is that 'barrier' doesn't work in Wayland. That's a showstopper for me, unfortunately.
Barrier is unmaintained, input-leap is maintained for of it, but with no releases yet. Not sure if it supports wayland better tho.
I use the Waynergy client on my laptop (gnome & wayland) and Barrier on my PC as the host, and everything's working.
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.
Give me sticky keys or give me X
well it doesnt work on my graphics card for one.
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.
