I can't recall what it did that was weird or not working right, I just recall it wasn't working for me. I didn't realize it logged me in to use Wayland. I just happened to look up and see it when I logged out. Whatever it was, it may be fixed by now. Then again, there could be a whole new set of issues. ;-) It could take a while and a lot of work for them to develop Wayland to work for everyone. One big problem they likely have, making it work with the current X11 system as well. If it was designed to work only on software written to work with it, it could be easier. Having to deal with both and make Wayland compatible with both, that could be making things harder. I'm not a dev so just my thinking. For the record. I'm not against Wayland. It's just not ready for my use yet. I've read where others have issues and some others where it works fine. I'm sure at some point the bugs and kinks will be worked out just like it was for X11 and any number of other GUI type stuff. When the time comes that it works well for me, I'll switch to it. If it is better that is. Dale :-) :-)
