    I tried to use Wayland. My windows flickered to black. I switched to X11. No issue. I’ll try Wayland again next year. -casual Linux user

        I try every year and every year I get a different result. Currently on Wayland, next year’s update might force me back to X.

        Love the Wayland stability.

      Slic3r doesn’t work on it.

      No idea of why. (But I suspect it’s about the several monitors thing.) Will probably try again in a year or 5.

        I don’t know what kind of program it is, but if it works on X11, you could try forcing it to run inside Xwayland by unsetting the WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable. I’ve had to do this with Qt Creator because dockable windows didn’t work at the time on Wayland.

        env --unset=WAYLAND_DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0 /path/to/prog

      Tried it on PopOS and wondered how anyone could use it at all. Installed fedora on a different machine and it’s flawless. Probably just the age of PopOS at this point.
