For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to “remap” keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.

Secondly there’s XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.

None of these have Wayland alternatives as far as I know. For text expansion there’s Espanso, but it doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts yet.

    Every time I build a new box or do an upgrade, I try selecting Plasma on Wayland from the login screen. Every time it doesn’t work, I select X11, and never think of it again for another six months to two years.

    urxvt, bspwm, sxhkd, and many small utilities that I built my desktop with. It’s hard to reproduce the same setup.

    I’m using Wayland right now, but tentatively.

    Right now there’s an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.

    Only happens on Wayland and it’s fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.

    There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren’t properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.

    Couldn’t use xset to manually set some monitors to standby So I searched how to change it back to X.

    Also you couldn’t set display variable to another computer’s ip address (a windows one running xming)

      Yeah, I think my sway config is around five years old now. The Wayland experience hasn’t been entirely without warts, but as someone who kind of just uses the desktop to drive a browser and a bunch of terminals, there’s not a whole lot of problems to run into either.

    For me is the lack of virtual displays is Wayland.

    I’m using a 49" monitor (with i3) and split it into virtual monitors/displays. For some tasks two displays are good, for others three, and all doesn’t need to be the same size.

    The reason for not using i3 splits is that many programs have fullscreen functions that I often use.

    Watching a movie is one example, where I have a script that automatically calculate the optimal width without borders and gives me an extra virtual display beside with whatever’s left.

      Hyprland can tell a window to be in fullscreen when in fact, it’s not (it’s called… Fakefullscreen). I binded it to shift+f11 and its become part of my workflow, lol

    I used to have issues with middle click scroll, but my own solution works fine and it works on Wayland and X11 too

    I’m too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don’t really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce), amd libreoffice Writer) work fine.

    I would really like to see xtrlock find its way into the Wayland session!

    But at the moment, it’s only available for wlroots based compositors…
