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?
