    There are still many things that don’t work on Wayland, which work perfectly fine on X11. If you don’t need any of them then Wayland is perfectly fine, but many people do need them.

    For example programs can’t read from or interact with windows of other programs, so for example a time tracking application can’t work, or productivity scripts using xdotool don’t have a Wayland way to work.

    Both of these use cases are needed to me.

      Major desktop environments have an override for global interaction. xdotool has been ported to kwin via kdotool.

      Any other imaginary problems standing in your way I can help dispel?
