Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it’s not easy as “Wayland support? Yes” (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it’s not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

    This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.

    X works for me.

      Well it was you who implied that a distro shipping the DE with wayland has to do extra testing that they don’t do. I just replied stating that distros are testing and validating for wayland to be the default.

      X works for me.

      Good. No one is stopping you from using it.
