Comment on Revert "video: Prefer Wayland over X11 (take 2)"parent

Comments

Perfectly ready* to be used.

* Recently tried to run an Electron application, in particular Element. It failed completely to show UI even with the extra options to do it. Even with Xwayland

* Interesting handling of drag was spotted in GNOME on Wayland with touchscreens, as in events are discontiguous breaking apps. The one we spotted it in is Blender.

* Multiple important use cases have no replacement or equivalent, especially remote desktop access is weak, and software KVM like Barrier doesn't seem to exist.

* Issue with 3D also messes up timings on video playback at high frame rates.
