You forgot to mention that it doesn't work without portals and Pipewire dependency, and portals have to be implemented individually for each DE.

Because the KDE developers went to a lot of effort to make it work. That doesn't mean it will work well in other DEs and that is Wayland's problem.
- rkangel 3y agoYou've moved the goalposts on this argument now. "$Thing is hard to implement on Wayland and requires quite a lot of effort by each DE"[1] is a very different argument to "$Thing doesn't work on Wayland". Pretty much everything you listed works well in Fedora with Gnome/Mutter. If the maintainers of the DEs are happy with the effort, then I don't see a problem? (unless you're a DE maintainer, in which case - fair enough). [1] When I first wrote this sentence I wrote "X is hard to implement" using X as a metasyntactic variable before I realised that was incredibly confusing in context!
- nine_k 3y agoIf something requires effort from each DE / compositor to implement, it's not "implemented in Wayland", but rather Wayland does not preclude it from being implemented.
