Not GP but... Last time I started a wayland plasma session it kept resetting my screen brightness to 100% every time they woke from sleep. The time before that I crashed the entire desktop, dropping me back to the terminal, when I tried to drag a hyperlink between windows. Those might have been fixed and I might try wayland again next time I update and reboot. I don't care about its supposed advantages.

Similar for me. Wayland ran super fast which was great. But konqueror refused to open. Then crashed when I opened discord. No thanks.

  Fortunately XWindows never ever caused problems or crashes for anybody ever /s

    It used to, yes, but once they stopped fixing it, it stopped crashing! I've not had a x11 crash in 12 years.

    If I had to choose between something that does what I want it to and crashes occasionally and something that doesn't do what I want it to and crashes frequently, what do you think I'd choose? Wayland reminds me very much of the Disk Utility application that shipped with Mac OS X El Capitan. The developers rewrote it because the original person who wrote it wasn't at Apple anymore and it ended up being pretty much useless due to massive amount of missing features.

Was that 1 year ago or 5? >I don't care about its supposed advantages Since it will be the only game in town soon, it's time to start caring - or people will also have to change DEs and other apps, which would be much more trouble than getting on with the program.

  This year. The drag and drop was probably last year. Also there's no kill switch so I don't have to update. I wonder how long I can hold plasma and qt without breaking some other package.

> I don't care about its supposed advantages Are there any, though ? AFAIK it has mechanisms to stop spyware programs (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) communicating with each other.
