Most of the issues are Linux auto-installing wrong graphic drivers, which then after a reboot results in a broken DE that doesn't work, and I don't want to spend my time manually verifying every update it tells me to install. I've had that in latest Ubuntu and Mint, to name a few. Other common issues I stumble upon is lack of audio driver support with either the audio not working at all, or working badly (no bass at all, very thin sound). Trackpad multi-touch support is bad in pretty much every distro (no decent gestures support, horrible inertia). Then of course what is now a running joke that Linux is unable to put my computer to sleep, so when I close the lid and open it again a few hours later, the battery is drained. So and so forth, and this is why I will not use Linux, because I don't find tinkering with any of this enjoyable at all, and want to get on with my work.

OK, so general linux issues unspecific to wayland. I don't share your experience, but it's rather off-topic for this post.

> Most of the issues are Linux auto-installing wrong graphic drivers, What? Since when linux auto-install drivers? You get those with your kernel and mesa (except nvidia). There is no installation. > Then of course what is now a running joke that Linux is unable to put my computer to sleep, so when I close the lid and open it again a few hours later, the battery is drained. Windows has exactly the same problem. You can thank "Connected standby" (pushed by Microsoft) for that -- neither Linux, nor Windows puts computer to sleep. They ask the firmware to put the computer to sleep. If the firmware is buggy, here's your problem.
