    so if everyone in the world used kde, “only” the usa would be on x11.

    meanwhile i still get random blackouts, frame rate desyncs, and sleep mode crashes when running wayland.

      you’re right, they shouldn’t support imperial measurements

      Interesting, what hardware do you run?

      I haven’t used Plasma for any significant length of time since 5.27. Coincidentally, the first major version of Plasma where Wayland was actually daily drivable for me, previous versions would have at least one desktop crash a day.

      But my experience on Gnome Wayland has always been good. At least, better than X11, even on NVIDIA before the Wayland compatibility was “good”. Don’t remember exactly dates or version umbers, but it was shortly after it got hardware accelerated Xwayland and before NVIDIA added GBM support. And when I switched to AMD, it only got smoother and more stable.

      And recently have been trying out labwc/wlroots and it’s been a very stable experience too.

      I moved to labwc in my migration from X11. Gnome/KDE felt less stable on wayland. In a way it makes sense that transition is more painful for big full of features DEs.

        yeah, the bigger DEs use more X11 features that they now have to build themselves.

      Not to mention still absolute crap support from commercial software.

    I really want to run wayland but there are still some missing bits required for my workflow. Of particular importance to me, the ability to connect to RustDesk auto-launched on a headless server, and clipboard sharing in DeskFlow. My understanding is that these are still broken only because the devs are still waiting for wayland back-end additions to be implemented.

    I’m all for wayland, but they need to catch up first.

      Not sure how your clipboard is broken, it works using KDE connect. DeskFlow may need to work on implementing the Wayland bits.

    I also switched to Wayland when the news came X11 would go away. It just sucks they aren’t fixing all the input issues on Wayland, especially since I’m using touchpad most of the time.

    95% on Wayland is a bit hard to believe, 100% of KDE users I know both use X11.

    Hmm… just found out that the only two video backends that can correctly display 10-bit full color range videos for me are VDPAU and x11, both unavailable on Wayland.
