So, I've been trying out Wayland for a few weeks. How many years has it been since everybody were saying that it's time to ditch X?
Well, if that's the case, why am I seeing this?
- Enabling Wayland support in Firefox causes menus to be corrupted.
- Scaling in Firefox is randomly broken (logging out and back in fixes it)
- Taking screenshots causes everything on the screen to shrink to half size while selecting what to screenshot.
- Moving a browser window resizes it to half vertical size
- After placing a window to be aligned with the top border, it sometimes moves down by 1 pixel, making it impossible to select it by moving the mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
- On random occasions, parts of my IntelliJ IDEA windows starts flashing until I force a repaint.
- HDR rendering looks horrible, so I have to turn it off.
- Every time I reboot the computer, the monitor brightness gets reset to 100% (fixed it by disabling ddcutil on powerdevil)
- And I just saw an article about the sorry state of colour management in Wayland.
Can someone tell me what's going on here, and why I should be using this thing?
