> Outside of rare special cases, yes, they will still work using the Xwayland compatibility layer. It does a great job of providing compatibility for most X11 applications

Not on my 4 year old PC. Wayland performs poorly and usually in wonky ways. I tried it for several weeks. Could not stand the odd behaviors and poor performance and went back to X11. And this is an AlienWare PC, cost me $2000 US, the most I've ever paid for a PC. Can't imagine how bad Wayland would be on the lesser PC's/laptops in our home.

Xwayland != Wayland. Xwayland is an X server and a Wayland client. I have a feeling that whatever performed poorly in wonky ways was due to whatever you were attempting to run rather than Wayland itself.

If you see this comment and ever decide to give the wayland session and whatever you were trying to run another go, I'd be more than happy to try and help you fix it.

I'm not a Wayland evangelist but as someone with an old(custom built) desktop myself who has used the Wayland session since it became an option, your comment reads to me as:

"Xwayland(and by extension Wayland on KDE) is bad, I'm not going to list any specific programs I had issues with or any of the troubleshooting I tried in the several weeks I attempted to use it but for me it ran poorly and/or strangely.

I have an AlienWare PC, which should prevent any of these issues from happening(?)"
