    You want me to track the progress of 4 bugs in Sway? Such a powerful argument.

    4 bugs discovered in less than 48 hours of use.

    How about don’t use Sway?

    I don’t, I’m on i3wm as result.

    For tiler lovers, Niri and Hyprland are both great.

    Tried hyprland as well, it is useless.

    Hyprland is such a meme, that the config file doesn’t allow chaining multiple actions to a single keybind, you have to instead repeat the same keybind several times in the config lmao.

    Also in hyprland you cannot move a floating window between displays using the move left and right commands, this is because the action does not move the window in that direction but rather to the left or right side of the display, meaning the window gets stuck at the border between the two displays and does not move anymore 😹

    Also this whole disaster that I was a victim of, the documentation was insanely outdated and someone had to repeat the dev about the issue: https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-wiki/issues/242

    Even more hilarious. Looks like you found an even crappier Wayland compositor than Sway.

    It works lol

    My issue is not if an app works on X11 or wayland, but the terrible implementations that wayland that lack even the most basic features.

    My point is that everybody else is happy leaving you behind

    And once again doesn’t remove the fact that wayland still sucks 😆

    I have had corrupt filesystem errors with BTRFS on both of my computers due to power outages and one hard shutdown (had to)

    When did this happen? what error did you get?

    Btrfs will explicitly go read only when it detects corruption, which is a good thing, with EXT4 you don’t know what is going on until it is too late.

    fwiw the only time I managed to get info from an user that had “issues” with btrfs, I discovered that what had happened is that they moved the partition that had snapshots, and if you don’t know it, this is catastrophic because this unlinks all the snapshots and suddenly everything would take many times more storage.

    Used ext4 for YEARS (I am old) and never had these issues with such frequency

    The short time I’ve used EXT4 running into bad superblock errors was something that happened almost every week, but in the end I was always able to repair the disk and recover everything.

    I’m from Venezuela, power failures are common here.

    I started linux with wayland and i have no clue why it’s such a controversy lmao.

    I recently ran into an user that rarely used x11. We were testing lsfg-vk, and right now it has a bug that when you close the game it most of the time it hangs and doesn’t quick properly.

    The person complained about having to open the terminal to kill the app when it hangs and I had to explain that this is not an issue for me because I use xkill which they never knew was a thing that avoided that whole mess of having to open a terminal to kill a window.

    But anyways, not a big deal if you can no longer use xkill, it is a very handy tool that saves a lot of key presses but not a vital thing in the end.

    The big issue holding me on x11 is that there is no way to merge multiple displays as one, something that on x11 is a very simple xrandr --setmonitor is impossible on wayland, there is no way to do it.
