Yes this. If you use gnome or kde you probably will have no issue with the transition to Wayland. If you use any other window manager then the transition will be painful because there's a bunch of things that don't simply map over from x WMs to Wayland compositors.
I just did this switch and found it incredibly frustrating. Simple things like, "I would like to be able to log out and return to my greeter" don't just work like they do in x.org, and it is dependent on which compositor you use.

- psanford 3y ago> "Things don't work the way they do in x.org" That is not what I said, please don't misquote me. I said: > [things] don't _just_ work like they do in x.org Maybe it wasn't clear in my post above so let me clarify. A lot of thing "just work" in x.org and don't in wayland compositors. That is the complaint. That things which were easy are now hard.
- marrs 3y ago> so you have to adapt No I don't. X11 works perfectly well for me. Wayland doesn't. Until I can migrate without issue, I'll be sticking with what works. If it gets to a point where Linux becomes unusable for me, I'll just move to an OS that works. Linux isn't the only game in town. Boo hoo.
