Did you actually read my post?
I tried lots of them.
So far, I found none that works properly.

>and will have different issues.

That's my point.
All of them have issues and none of them work as good as X11.
That's simply the reality that I face since a decade.
On lots of different machines, lots of different combinations of compositors and whatever.

Currently there is *no* way for me to use Wayland. And therefore the claims that Wayland was production ready that I hear since over a decade are just meaningless.

You may like it or not. But it is what it is.

That's obviously a *completely* different thing than "I don't like riprep, therefore Rust sucks".

Show me one compositor that just works (tm) like Xfce on X11 (and is not Gnome) and I will shut up.
