    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?
