TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.

      The discord thing can also be seen as a good thing (it’s a feature). Wayland is more secure and prevents apps like discord from spying on literally every keystroke you press. Especially if the app is discord, I don’t want it to be able to look at what I’m typing in real time

      The video card thing, if talking about NVidia, really is wayland’s fault. The devs refuse to use the card and driver the way X did. I suspect it’s because they don’t like NVidia’s licensing of the driver, and they’re trying to make life a pain for NVidia users to for the business to make concessions.

        Maintainability is why wayland exists. The devs not putting up to nvidia’s special child complex in favor of a unified codebase really isn’t a surprise.
