Same.
I'm on Wayland right now and I already know the next installation will run X11.
Nothing against Wayland but so far all functional differences I noticed were things that don't work anymore.
I don't expect everything to work exactly the way it was previously, but nonexistent alternatives for X11 tools are a dealbreaker for me.
- deadbunny 3y agoI had the same issues. I try Wayland whenever I end up with a new machine or do a reinstall for whatever reason. It felt like death by a thousand cuts just small things like inconsistent drag and drop behaviour, the primary clipboard working in some places and not in others etc. Things that are just ingrained in my daily use being inconsistent or broken ever so slightly just become intolerable even after a few days of tweaking and tracking down 5 year old bug reports with no action. I might have a better time using one of the big 2 DEs but (using KDE on a Surface Pro with Wayland has been fine) but i3/Sway are my preferred WMs and I'm not giving them up. Maybe in another 2 years.
