>I still can't share my screen in Slack or Teams making calls with Windows and Mac colleagues an embarrassing mess.

Works fine in at least all wlroots compositors (via xdpw) and in GNOME (via xdpgtk). The Electron versions presumably don't use PW so they'll only share Xwayland windows. The browser versions will be able to share everything through xdp since all major browsers support PW.

>Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 has Wayland disabled by default (why though, if Wayland is so usable?)

Dunno, works for me. Firefox isn't exactly the poster-child of intelligent decisions.

>No scroll acceleration settings.

Depends on the compositor. sway supports them. Not a Wayland problem.

>Currently, Wayland is one step forward, one step back.

Nope.

>Especially that many highly used apps still haven't made the switch

Yes they have. For starters, every GTK3+ and Qt 5+ program will already use Wayland if it exists.

>Wayland has not yet feature parity to what X11 offered.

Yes it has.

Wayland still doesnt support color managment and tearing updates (the latter might not happen because wayland people dont understand the usecase)


Thank you for proving my point. If you need to tinker with all that in an OS just to get a usable system, then, repeat after me, it's not ready.


Good thing there's no tinkering mentioned in my comment, then.


Oh sorry, you're right, your comment was basically "it works on my computer therefore Wayland is usable, period"
