Show me one Rust compiler that just works for compiling ripgrep such that it outperforms GNU grep (and is not rustc).
KDE Plasma 6.4 works just fine for me; I don't know what's different about your setup to mine that means that it doesn't work for you. But KDE Plasma 6.3 and 6.4 and GNOME 40 have all been fine as Wayland setups for me.
And no, it's not obviously different - you're excluding things that are known to work, and then saying that Wayland as a whole does not work because, when you exclude the implementations that work, the remaining implementations don't work.
When I put it like that, it's obvious why your statement is problematic - you're excluding implementations that are known to work well for other people, and saying that the protocol is not ready, because you as one person cannot make it work after you exclude the implementations that do work. But you get upset when I try to do the same with Rust.
