#2This is pretty FUD-y.
Yes, some software will need to be updated, and no there's nothing preventing this functionality in Wayland.

#3This is completely the opposite of my experience. I've been running Wayland on Pop OS since last year and it has been great.
X11 had horrible tearing on external rotated screens - Wayland fixed that.
Colour temperature changing works.
Screensharing works just fine on Chrome and Firefox. I use it every day.
Screen recording works with Gnome's built in recorder.
I'm sure there are a few esoteric bits which don't work - but I've had nothing but success with it.

#4> Err. What? I don't want Wayland. I want Xorg. But thanks for your comment.
The glove is on the ground, Xorg is getting abandoned, anyone who needs Xorg in their life can take up the mantel and continue developing and maintaining it. I for one prefer Wayland since it has an architecture that allows for security (not that the protocol enforces security by default).

Did you manage to get screensharing working with Slack on Wayland?
Did you manage to setup more than 1 monitor to run on various (an sometimes very different) dpi settings?

#6Not a big fan of the hostility in the text and the comments under it. Wayland does indeed break compatibility at points with X, but I still believe it's a good way forward. I'm personally holding off on switching over until the desktop environment I use(KDE) says they fully support it, and that it's stable, but I don't really see the need to be this aggressive about it.

#7Wayland doesn't even work for me, so I guess I don't have such problems. I'm not really into the actual arguments between NVidia and Wayland folks, but I suspect it's something like "they don't want to bow to us, therefore we don't want to work with them" from both sides. Like a kindergarten ;)

Not to mention that mixed DPI screens work!
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on an XPS13 and can finally have different scaling factors between the internal HiDPI screen and external normal DPI screen without awful issues.

#9There must be a name for this phenomenon where an upgrade breaks most things. Haha. Reinvention?

There's also an OBS branch with Wayland support.
