You have a better chance of being hit by a meteor than falling victim to a compromise that would have been stopped had you only used wayland.
Also xwayland is not a fix for any of the issues identified.
- k33n 6y agoThat's not remotely accurate, but thanks for writing!
- michaelmrose 6y agoOk let's address the problems of which you assert 99% can be fixed via xwayland. First problem identified > Wayland breaks screen recording applications Can xwayland fix it? Nope. > Wayland breaks screen sharing applications Can xwayland fix it? Nope. There is very little Linux desktop malware in the wild. What there is would seem to be minimally effected by wayland example https://animajav.us/linux-systems-hiddenwasp-malware-trojan/ https://animajav.us/linux-systems-hiddenwasp-malware-trojan/ Instead of worrying about trying to get the keyboard as a non root user logically one might attack the filesystem or just work on getting root. Linux desktop security vs threats actually already running on the system appear to be more an asperational goal than a reality. At least there are documented cases of meteorites injuring people I can't find Linux malware available in the wild that would be mitigated by wayland.
