This is gonna take time but eventually we’ll see adequate replacements for smaller WMs like awesome. Especially because awesome is based on dwm, im hoping that as dwl (the wayland version of dwm) matures we’ll see projects like awesomewl come about.
I feel like a lot of people tried Wayland in 2020, a bunch of things didn’t work and they’ve been permanently traumatised.
I switched my laptop years ago, but my desktop only fairly recently - multi screen, mixed DPI with variable refresh rates for gaming took longer to be ready than my laptop’s single screen, normal DPI, fixed refresh rate config.
It works sometimes, but when it doesn’t, it wastes way too much time. I just switch back to windows for 50% of the time for anything productive. I love configuring hyprland, but actually using it for anything that needs to do something sucks. Thank god for arch linux wiki. I can run some apps instead of going to windows. Can’t run vm either🫠
So what’s not working in wayland? Screenshots? Remote desktop? Screen recording? Display in general?
My window manager (Am using awesome rn)

all of these have been fixed years ago.
I can confirm that the default remote desktop on Ubuntu 25.1 doesn’t work at least.
huh yeah, i havent tested on 25.10 but i don’t think it works for me either.
video capture portals are working though, this seems specific to gnome remote desktop.
