    Wayland 1.0 was released in 2012.

    Now, 12 years later, it still is not production ready. I lost hopes long ago and rather stick to a security flawed but stable X11.

    I am very glad with the proposal of the Frog protocol, as Wayland was dead before it could even walk.

      Now, 12 years later, it still is not production ready.

      I use it on both my laptop and my desktop computer. It got better during the last 1-2 years.

      While my laptop (13" 1080p screen) is pretty much fine running with Hyprland on an integrated Intel GPU, my desktop computer with a 28" 4K screen scaling is messed up completely and needs tweaking, sometimes down to a per-program base. Sometimes the font is gigantic sometimes I need a microscope to see anything. That was definitely better on X11.

      On my desktop I run labwc, that does not come with own functionality regarding this: I just recently got whole-screen video recording and now have to wait likely another year or two for single-window recording. (There is a protocol for this, that took two years to be merged, which is just ridiculous for such a low-level base functionality that should be implemented from the beginning on.)

      Other than that, all my common programs are running okay with Wayland.
