    Works great… until you realize your GPU isn’t liked by Wayland when you have more than one monitor lol. Then Wayland is uninstalled and you go back to Xorg or XFCE.

    It’s weird, had this issue with multiple monitors where wayland is either a glitchy refresh rate mess or just doesn’t recognize at all. Nvidia, amd, discrete or dedicated, native driver or oem driver: they’re all finicky under wayland when multiple monitors are used.

      Do wayland devs actually use wayland themselves? Because multi-monitor setups are essential for coding.

        They do and it does work correctly with some configurations, but there are some obvious problems with existing applications and gpu vendor drivers that make multi monitor support a bitch.

        It will probably take another 5+ years (already been 17 years, 4 actually being used in desktop managers) for the devs to resolve.

        I meant uninstall the window manager and install XFCE, was a poor choice of wording.
