i feel you about sway.
i am not a fan of tiling but the thing with wayland is; its not usable at this state. i talked about it with a friend a few days back and if you don't use something like KDE which is its own little eco system, then thinks break or don't even work. (1/2)
he is also using a tiling WM with different programs that uses Qt or KDE but if it doesn't have fully wayland support then have fun troubleshooting or finding a workarround. meanwhile me with XFCE and X11, everything is fine. and its a shame, because some part of me wants to try wayland but not at this state, i need a working environment, my programms need to work when i need them. (2/2)
the only issues I have that are specific to wayland is flameshot (screenshot program) just being really jank to use and my osu cursor escaping the window but I think thats more of a hyprland or sway issue since I don't recall that ever happening on KDE.
From my perspective wayland seems to be rapidly improving since back in late 2024 it was completely unusable for me on my Nvidia Optimus laptop but when I tried using Sway and Hyprland on it around the time I made my first post about TWMs it was perfect apart from the two issues I named above.
