    @fullywoolly @maya_b heh, amusingly, most of the things they list as issues with Wayland are Kicad features that drive me nuts, and I turn off

    - cursor warping
    - remembering where to put the windows (on i3 it would gradually walk the add component window right off the screen unless I dragged it back)

    I'm going to keep testing on Wayland for now, tbh I bet a lot of what they've hit is GNOME-specific.

    @cliffle @maya_b I haven't used KDE or anything else in a minute. I did try i3 once at work but I had approx 50 billion browser windows and tabs open and the tiles were infinitesimally small. It was a real problem navigating and was hampering my work too much. I didn't give it a fair chance.

    @fullywoolly i3 (and Sway, which is more or less an i3 workalike) can switch a desktop into tabbed or stacked view rather than tiled. That's what I do for my browsers. I only use tiling for terminals, in practice.

    @cliffle oh I didn't make it that far. That's really helpful to know!

    I'll have to give it another go
