What distro/DE are you using? I don't have that problem nor have I heard of anyone having that problem
input-leap
this software has wayland support already https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap/issues/109
I keep seeing people say this, and nobody ever gives any sensible reasons for why they believe this.
Do you honestly think X11 has a better design than wayland? Do you think every single app should have permissions to screen record without you knowing, to keylog without you knowing? That mixed refresh rates (without hacks) should be impossible, that mixed display scaling should be impossible, etc? X11 just seems fundamentally broken from the ground up, I have no idea what of x11's design is better in any way.
I'll grant you there's some implementation issues right now, but design is absolutely not a place where x11 wins. There is not a single X11 developer who would agree with you that the design of X11 is better than wayland, not even one.
No, but it's cleaner and designed for my usecase, and no real work to setup for me, all I had to do was add an alias
I just use doas because sudo has a bunch of features i don't care about or use, and doas does everything i need while being significantly smaller.
Absolutely not, that guy is eating marketing

there's already a non-draft implementation, if I had to guess a few weeks before it's merged, and then you have to wait for a release, and then your distro has to package it. So, it's gonna be a while.
BUT, I think much more importantly is when it is merged into xwayland
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967
Which should be fairly soon!
It's less buggy for me, for sure.
I think there's a reason plasma decided to switch to it by default, do you have any evidence that it's more buggy?
I don't think you're correct, immutability is great for long-term maintenance and makes everything, especially updating, much easier for new people.
Non-immutable distros will often have conflicts, or when a dist upgrade happens, issues occur, immutable distros largely sidestep those issues, and I believe kinoite is the simplest, most reliable option for someone unfamiliar with performing these upgrades.
The moment there's a dependency issue or conflict, they will have problems.
Fedora is not a flavor of the month project, it has just as much history as mint/ubuntu, and there's a reason they're shifting to atomic. Furthermore wayland is better for the vast majority of people right now, imagine you bother to switch to the linux desktop and then in a few months everything completely changes because wayland happened, it'll look like linux is absolutely insane from the perspective of someone who hasn't immersed themselves into the nature of this transition.
Not if you include laptops and people without dedicated gpu's at all!
And either way, we're not far from all of the issues being resolved nvidia side, and they're few and far between at this point. That's just the last problem left, and it only affects xwayland apps.
Kinoite is extremely stable due to it's immutability, if we mean stable to mean "unbreaking" rather than not updated.
Wayland is also the better choice for new people unless they have nvidia, in which case, it will be the better choice once explicit sync is supported in xwayland and nvk is the default.
Message me on matrix if you want help setting all of that up, but waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.
You should switch if you value any of the following:
a. Any x11 client can record your screen without notifying you
b. Any x11 client can record all of your keystrokes without notifying you
a. Tighter integration with input/output configuration, which results in things like per-input settings are very difficult to do on X11, I have a mouse that only works on one screen and another mouse that works on all my screens, which makes it so that I can have my TV pointed away from my desktop and use a wireless mouse and never lose the position of my cursor while still keeping my other displays active, for example
b. You can't modify mouse sensitivity on x11 (except in a hacky way with acceleration)
c. After switching to sway I just noticed so many hacks that I configured went away.
a. x11 can't support monitors with mixed refresh rates because how it handles rendering is fundamentally flawed
b. on x11 most animations are fundamentally broken (try resizing) because of how rendering is handled, check out the animations on hyprland and how smooth they are, that's not something that can be done on x11 for a low performance overhead
c. so many scaling problems, native wayland apps work perfectly in this regard nowadays.
