When I attempt to record a GIF with peek under Wayland, it counts down and then my display hangs. I can't even switch VTs, so the only thing I can do at this point is power-cycle my laptop. I know it's just the display hanging, not everything, because the music I'm listening to continues to play. This occurs whether or not I set GDK_BACKEND to x11 before launching peek. Peek works fine when I use it under Xorg instead of Xwayland. See also https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/202 , the bug I filed with the peek developers about this, but regardless of whether peek is doing something wrong, it shouldn't be able to cause the display server to hang.
