Honestly, I've only ever had problems with Wayland so far. So many times when I look up the issue tracker for a software I'm having issues with, the solution is always "switch to a DE that uses Xorg."
I get that it's not a mature software yet, but neither should people be pushing to use it until it is.
"Here, switch to this software! Except it doesn't support half of the features of the old one and it never will. Why? Uhhhh idk security or something. What was that? Will we add a way to securely allow these things? Lol no"
What features are you talking about?
People say this all the time but can never give any actual examples.
Screensavers! I know they're technically pointless in the modern era but dammit they make me happy
that's not true either, nobody has bothered to port them but there's nothing stopping you, this is also not a closed wontfix for security reasons thing at all.
all you'd need to do is use layer-shell, it really wouldn't be difficult at all, but nobody cares.
edit: nvm it exists already https://sr.ht/~mstoeckl/wscreensaver/
There really isn't even one thing is there?
