Well, Wayland is "new.". Why not use X if it doesn't yet fit your needs?

  Do you honestly expect users to swap out the window system to solve a simple problem like a lack of scroll speed adjustment? Most users won't even know the difference between Wayland and X.org and X11 unless they are already the kind of tinkerers who used Linux on the desktop despite its drawbacks. Normal people have no idea what any of it means, and they should not need to know.

    To be fair, “normal people” do not run Linux on their laptops…

      Except that this is exactly what the post is implying.

        No, the post is talking about the “windows system,” not Windows :)

    I'm talking specifically about OPs complaint - they've identified it's a Wayland specific issue, so yes? If using Gnome, it's a single click from GDM, and your preference will be remembered.

  X is purely worse for this case. Wayland supports live switching window scaling as they drag across monitor boundaries. X does not. The issue is that electron apps do not support Wayland yet so they run in the X compatibility layer which can not live switch. So reverting to X means you go from some of your windows not working to all of them not working. Supposedly upstream electron has fixed this but I'm yet to see a single electron app that works. Maybe they just haven't updated electron.

      I consider it the opposite. I don't care about setting the scrolling speed - I can adapt to that. I just can't stand pixelated windows though.
