Wayland is breaking a solid 30%-40% of everything on my computer right now, but I want to be better prepared for if/when I don’t have an x11 option.

Is there a forum or place where people listen and actually try to help you find fixes/workarounds for Wayland problems?

    to help communicate and troubleshoot what is broken here, we need to think of Wayland as a protocol just like HTTP is a protocol

    saying “Wayland broke X” is like saying “HTTP broke X”, which is possible but not likely to be what you’re actually trying to say

    rather, we need to be talking about the implementation(s) of the protocol, not the protocol itself

    e.g. “HTTP broke X” -> “Google Chrome broke X”

    e.g. “Wayland broke X” -> “GNOME broke X”

    Is this on a fresh install, or have you installed a Wayland DE on an existing distro? If so, you may be missing some packages. What DE are you using for both X and Wayland?

    I’m surprised wlr-randr is missing a display that xrandr can see, they should be looking at the same place for the display info. If you hunt through dmesg do you see any errors related to “EDID”?
