I have no beef with Wayland specifically and I agree that if you are harassing maintainers of any project you're probably an asshole. However,

>Maybe Wayland doesn’t work for your precious use-case. More likely, it does work, and you swallowed some propaganda based on an assumption which might have been correct 7 years ago.

I'm a game developer. None of the software I use works reliably or at all on Wayland. None of it. And I'm completely fine with that, I'll keep using Xorg and you can give me a call when my "precious use-case" is handled.

If it's not too much trouble, can you list the software you use which doesn't work on Wayland?

It's a couple of years old, but this post on "Why I'm not going to switch to Wayland yet."[1] summarizes some of the concerns I have about switching to Wayland:

"at the moment there are several types of applications that not only don't work in wayland, but would be very difficult, or impossible to work natively in all major wayland compositors.

Examples (in order of importance to me):

  * Programmatic output configuration (xrandr, arandr, etc.)
  * CLI clipboard access (xsel, xclip)
  * Third party app launcher/window switcher (rofi, dmenu, albert, docky).
  * Clipboard managers (parcellite, klipper, Gpaste, clipman, etc.)
  * Third party screen shot/capture/share (shutter, OBS, ffmpeg, import, peek, scrot, VNC, etc.)
  * Color picker (gpick, gcolor3, kcolorchooser)
  * xdotool

PS: ydotool has been touted as an equivalent of xdotool, but ydotool has only a tiny fraction of the features of xdotool.

And it's unlikely that it'll get much better any time soon, as its README says:

"Since Jun, 2019, I have little time to maintain this project"

wtype is supposed to be another equivalent to xdotool, but it has even less features than ydotool.

If the rest of Wayland's X equivalents as feature poor as these, I don't hold out much hope for Wayland in the near future.

  * It's not exactly the same, but I use Kanshi for dynamic output configuration. https://github.com/emersion/kanshi
  * https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard

  * There's wlrobs for OBS. There's grim/slurp/wl-recorder for use outside of OBS.
  * You can use grim to grab a particular color on the screen, but the UI wouldn't be as good, of course.
