What’s the difference for a real user between using X11 or Wayland nowdays? I haven’t found anything useful on the internet, so I’m asking you. Internet articles on the topic (and about WMs too) seem to be advertising slop since they explain anything but the real things. Also, if anyone used the XLibre fork, I would love to hear about your experience with it.
Fam, if I may, I’ll be a bit abrasive and blunt for the sake of brevity. So, without further ado.
(I’ll assume this is on GNOME.) First of, in terms of Wayland development, that build is from the Bronze Age. The associated issue tracker has been closed since last year, even if you don’t like the solution GNOME has come up with. Which, gets us to the second point; please don’t blame the Wayland ecosystem as a whole whenever you find a fault within a Wayland compositor. If, instead, you would have been on KDE Plasma back then, you’d have found that PTT was supported. Even if it was basically a hack for the sake of UX. Thankfully, KDE Plasma has recently merged a proper implementation that’s slated for its 6.7 release.
I’ll grant you that the Wayland ecosystem hasn’t fully matured yet. But it’s undeniable that it already provides a better experience than its predecessor for the vast majority of users.
