I'm still on X because I'm too comfortable with dwm and I've never had problems with Wayland the few times I've tried KDE/Gnome. That said blaming the user for lacking skill for basic stuff like copy/paste between applications or screen sharing isn't constructive. Those features should just work and shouldn't require skill. Building a niche window manager from source is a different discussion.


Alright, good point. Sorry for my bad first comment, I am just a bit defensive after all these years of people saying Wayland is unusable. The problems you describe with screen sharing are likely because of missing xdg-portal implementation (the implementation depends on your setup).

>Those features should just work and shouldn't require skill.

Maybe, yeah. But we are on hacker news, I assumed people would be open to hacking on things, but the comments are always very much not like that.
