Yep you read that right, we’ve decided to throw the lever and go Wayland by default! The three remaining showstoppers are in the process of being fixed and we expect them to be done soon̵…
Meanwhile Wayland absolutely hates my year old AMD laptop. It hangs itself on a regular basis, some applications go completely unresponsive every so often to the point they need to be kill -9’ed. Rock solid when running X11, completely unreliable in Wayland. It’s a shame, I want to like Wayland as I think there is no future for X11, but as it stands currently I simply cannot use it yet for my day to day business.

Which processor/distro/DE are you on? My AMD laptop is an year old as well and I’ve had zero issues with Wayland.
Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U / Fedora 38 / KDE (Wayland)

Be the change you want to see in the world. File a ticket and work with them to hunt down the problem. Who knows, it could be simple.
Weird, I have a less extreme, but opposite experience. More stuff works better on Wayland for my laptop (Debian 12 + KDE, Ryzen 5500u)
