@josh You mean, other than being able to properly scale apps, support touchpad gestures, have secure screen sharing, and just in general being a much better architecture?

@ainmosni @thomas For the record, I'm not anti-Wayland, nor am I opposed to change I just have three or four essential apps that don't seem to want to work with with Wayland.

@josh @thomas I wonder what apps those are, the vast majority of my apps are wayland native these days. Except games and electron stuff that is, but those work fine under xwayland.

@ainmosni @thomas Vokoscreen is one — screen recording software. It has experimental support for Wayland, but it's crashy and won't sync audio under Wayland. Zoom was late to support Wayland and still crashes intermittently when screensharing under Wayland on my machine, though it seems to be improving on this front. Thunderbird seems to have a bug where compose windows don't get properly de-registered after an email is sent; for a while I suspected Wayland, but it occurs in Xorg, too.

@ainmosni Thank you for the recommendations! I have OBS and use it for things like conference presentations, but for a lot of what I do — dashing off quick feedback videos to students on web design projects, for instance — it's significant overkill. I found an alternative quick-and-dirty screen recorder, Kooha, but I don't like it very much. I will give the Zoom web app a shot!

@josh Also, and this is coming from someone who doesn't screen record often, there's a decent change your desktop environment might have a simple screen recorder included, or at least easily installable.

@josh But you most likely have much more experience in this area than I do. :)
