Pretty much any accessibility or automation software suffers here without having to be a root. Wayland makes accessibility impossible is developer with its fragmentation. Want to make tools that work across now Wayland ecosystem good luck with that.

- kaba0 4y agoIt’s almost like there are layers to security. You don’t have to be root, but nor should any random npm install script be able to steal keystrokes and send them away. While we are it, linux desktop security just sucks all around.
