I have been watching Wayland with interest since it's beginning.  There is still one thing which prevents me from switching.  I need to attend remote meetings, using teams, zoom, etc.  I always prefer to use the web interfaces for those, through chrome (firefox won't work on teams).  If I use wayland and I try to share a window, only some windows are available to share - presumably the native X11 ones are not available choices.  Until this is resolved it's X11 for me.

I’ve shared individual Wayland windows through Chrome and Google Meet:

1. ⁠Go to chrome://flags
2. ⁠Search "Preferred Ozone platform"
3. ⁠Set it to "Wayland"
4. ⁠Restart Chrome

You can also launch Chrome with: --ozone-platform=wayland

When you go to share, it’ll ask you for permission and you can choose whole screen or certain windows.  It might be something that requires GNOME’s mutter though, I haven’t tried any other Wayland-compatible desktop environment. I’ve used it with Zoom too, although not recently since my job requires Meet.

Will definitely have to check it out at some point! Thanks for sharing.

I still use X11, even though both the distros I use (Fedora and Pop!_OS)
have support for it. I am just ancient and set in my ways, haha.
