    Does multi-monitor sets work yet? Does it still randomly crashes when logging out? Does it have support for touch monitors already? Is Pipewire support ready? Is the Compose key still broken? Does it handle internationalization better now? Does accessibility software like on screen keyboards and screen readers already work on it?

    I love Wayland, BTW, the more secure ecosystem is a net positive. But we can’t pretend it isn’t a lot of effort for something that has no tangible difference or immediate advantage for the end user, is extra work for developers and currently has a higher potential for errors, malfunctions and missing features that are taken for granted. Again, it’s a worthy endeavor to improve something that already works, but that also means there’s no rush. We can afford to wait.

      Does multi-monitor sets work yet?

      Yes.

      Does it still randomly crashes when logging out?

      It hasn’t done that for the 1.5 years that I have been using it for.

      Is Pipewire support ready?

      Yes. It’s so ready that even ubuntu uses it with wayland by default.

      Does it have support for touch monitors already

      Yes. It, in fact, has better support than x org.

      Does it handle internationalization better now?

      I don’t know about the problem with i18n but I don’t think this will affect most users.

      Onscreen keyboard is still a pain to run but maliit works on kde+gnome/wayland. When was the last time you used wayland dude? I am not trying to sound this argumentative. If I do, my apologies but I have been listening to these same points being regurgitated over and over again when they have been fixed long ago.
