Just grep the source for "wayland" and you'll see what I mean.

and

# Refuse to build in Arch package environments

MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")

Not sure if there is more to this, but it seems like it screws over X11 users for no reason (I'm still using a 1050Ti).

I’m on a mobile 1050 and wayland, thing rocks 👌

I waited a long while to try it

look inside

crash to login manager.


Not sure if you're using some non-proprietary driver or what, but I'm not worried about switching over. Maybe nice with AMD GPU, unlikely for me though.

I don't want GNOME or Plasma (I've had issues with Plasma on X11 when I tried it) so that could be it, too.

I’m on bazzite KDE and haven’t reconfigured anything because everything just ran smooth, but I realise I might be the minority here.

Can someone grep Wayland and tell us what you find?

IDK how I would do that on my phone.

I find mostly complaints around Wayland not working like Xorg, like complaining they can't just get the absolute cursor position and things like that.

Sounds very much like parroted points from probonopb's rants, like claims of "broken by design".
