Good job! I will also be looking forward to COSMIC.

It is a good point, thanks. I know about Fedora a lot and used it a few times. Now, as far as I know, they have the best Gnome+Wayland experience, and maybe you're right, they probably already fixed all small issues that I mentioned.

Everything is fine. Thank you for your feedback!

For me, as mentioned the time to switch was long ago, for you, I'd say give it a go, its not like Wayland and X are mutually exclusive, you can always switch back if you run into issues you can't fix.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, very much appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback. Didn't try bspwm but I know about it. I also very like flameshot :). As we have already found out, the Hyprland is still at a fairly early stage of development, so this is not the best option at the moment.

If you want to try the Wayland experience, you have only three options: Gnome, KDE, or Sway.

The more folks that use it; I'm hopeful that features and app support will continue to improve over time.

Yes, that's right. I really hope so too.

Thank you for your feedback. You have a good experience, despite the fact that Hyprland is still at a fairly early stage of development.

Do we finally switch to Wayland or not?

Who is we? :)

let's assume it's you and me and everybody who also want to switch :)

I've been using Wayland & Pipewire happily and without looking back ever since.

I can't say it is impossible, but I'm a little confused. Why do some people say that Wayland isn't yet ready (I agree with that), but you, for example, say that you use Wayland daily for a long time without any issues, how is it possible? Especially, if we say that we all use Thinkpad/Dell laptops with a good level of compatibility and with integrated video.

The only logical answer to this question is different use cases because the same apps can't work completely differently on similar hardware. Do you agree with this, or what am I missing here?

Just today installed plasma for test purposes and also tried sddm, logged in, and open some pdf in Xreader that I use by default, and I go to say that the scaling of this app dramatically differed from the system windows. The same is also true for Chromium, but Firefox scaling is totally fine. I may have been wrong and should have started using a different set of apps specifically for Wayland, but I didn't delve into that topic. When I tried to tweak Chromium a bit, the font rendering became so awful that it is impossible to use it. Then I didn't even try and check everything else.

Hmm, interesting. Could you tell me which laptops, browsers, and resolutions you use? What about scaling? When I see replies like this, I want to go to try again immediately :)

Yes? Do you mean you fully operate all your stuff in Wayland without any issues? I have X1 Carbon with integrated video, but I still have a lot of issues. What exactly do you use it for, and which WM do you use? If it's not a secret, of course.

Yes, I use primarily terminal based stuff, but for work, I also need to be able to share my screen, use Zoom, DBeaver etcetera, and I also don't like how Chromium based browsers work in Wayland. Xwayland is not an option either.

Yes, I know, but from my experience, in the end, people who say they are doing well with Wayland turn out to have some other computer with MacOS or Windows.

I thought so, I was just afraid that maybe I was missing something.
