   One day Wayland would be stable enough to replace X11, but that day is not today.

     @tyil @hfaust please check out Hyprland

     and I'm not sure what you're talking about with the screenshots, as I've never had any problems with those and can't recall anyone else having that problem

     maybe you tried using an X11-only tool on wayland?

     @jacekpoz@fosstodon.org @hfaust@shitposter.club If you don't have any requirements for a good tiling window manager sure. #Gnome and #KDE both don't come with one that actually tiles well. The closest ones are #Vivarium and #Velox, neither of which are stable at this point in time. I'll repeat, there's no good window manager for #Wayland as of right now.
     
     If you don't know what I'm talking about with regards to screenshots (or really any other "basic" feature that we've had by default in X11), I don't know what to tell you. I'm glad Wayland brings no issues to you, but there's a reason a very large portion of GNU+LInux users stick to X11 while they can.

     @hfaust@shitposter.club So long as there's no good window managers, I will stick to #X11. Maybe one day, but so far every time I try it's just sad how little is offered by #Wayland.
     
     Oh, and of course not being able to just do regular shit like copy to select, or make a screenshot. It doesn't help adoption I'm sure.

     @jacekpoz@fosstodon.org @hfaust@shitposter.club I have checked out #Hyprland. It's got a lot of animations that I don't want, if I want to look at pretty graphics I'll put on a video. It also didn't do well with a 3 or 4 monitor setup, and can't be configured to handle tags as a single monitor-independent tagset (similar to #XMonad or #HerbstluftWM).
