I'm mostly seeing this sentiment from people who have little to no experience using Wayland. I've been using Sway as my primary environment for 5+ years now and it's been working great. What are the actual specific features that you believe are missing? Copy/pasting works, screenshots work, video recording works, screensharing works, before you try to parrot some ancient stuff. Post-Sway Wayland (even if you don't use Sway itself) is really a whole different beast. Drew and emersion and co. really sped things up and a lot of new compositors have sprung up since then with similarly good or better support for things. Splitting out wl-roots from Sway so that other compositors didn't need to build as much from scratch probably helped, but some compositors are still doing their own thing successfully enough. Hyprland seems to be pretty popular these days. Even Pewdiepie is using it, last I heard. They even added a tearing protocol for people who think they need to have tearing to get just a bit more performance out of their games and such. On the note of games, the Steam Deck's Game Mode uses Valve's Wayland compositor, Gamescope, and has been greatly successful as well. Some people are even running Gamescope on top of other environments on desktops because of how well games work in it. The only thing I've heard isn't working in the last year or two is stuff related to accessibility for blind users. Screen readers and related software aren't working as well as they should yet. I don't mean to dismiss that as unserious, by the way, though I would wager that the vast majority of people don't use/need those features and should've been fine to switch over years ago. I hope accessibility improves ASAP as well for those that need it (and sorry if you're one of those people).
