Disabling mouse acceleration forcibly globally
Just random things like screen sharing not working in all applications or having weird issues with connecting more than 2 monitors.
xbindkeys
xrandr. afaik, there's no (standard) way to set display resolution from the command line in wayland. also, there's no equivalent of xkill, so in order to kill an unresponsive gui app, you have to grep for its pid in ps, which can get a bit tedious and annoying, especially for programs which spawn multiple processes.
You're gonna be happy about cosmic-randr
Yeah, I just ran into this recently. I honestly wouldn't care if there was a way to set the resolution and refresh rate to what my monitor actually is in a GUI somewhere, but gnome thinks my monitor only runs at either 24 or 23hz. Frusterating.
For like half a second my brain thought this was a meme comparing the fictional megacorps Zorg Industries from "The Fifth Element" and the Weyland-Yutani Corporation from the "Alien" franchise.
It's not?
If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it's a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn't happen with X11.
Sway can't set my 3 displays as extended like I can with i3 with xorg.
Also I recently wanted to try to record on OBS with sway to rule out an issue that I have with my AMD card with colors, and I wasn't able to get OBS to work, installed xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, set the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway environment variable and didn't work.
Also for some reason my xfce4 apps are ignoring my xdg base dir variables (I have config and cache inside ~/.local) when using either sway or hyprland and that results in issues with my theming and the creation of the .config and .cache dirs in home again, what is weird is that it only happens with the xfce apps.
EDIT: I was able to test OBS on hyprland instead of sway and the issue with the colors is still present even on wayland.
I got one of those NUCs at work that has new Intel XE integrated graphics. X11 works amazing, but wayland operates like a slideshow when I move windows around. Never looked much into it, just went to X11 and never went back.
