Tell HN: Gnome on Wayland Is Amazing
I still have several issues with Wayland on Ubuntu 21.10:<p>- windows (especially gnome-terminal and gedit) sometimes randomly extend behind the dock and top bar (apparently this is fixed in a newer GNOME version)<p>- apps using a recent version of Qt and native Wayland rather than XWayland have an excessively large cursor on HiDPI (fixable by setting an environment variable, but that&#x27;s a hacky solution)<p>- Firefox addon popups are cut off on HiDPI<p>- Oracle SQL Developer just doesn&#x27;t work at all (the window doesn&#x27;t show when I try to launch it) [EDIT: this actually seems to work now]<p>- Onboard (on-screen keyboard, because GNOME&#x27;s built-in one has a horrible UX) can&#x27;t be moved around on the screen when using Wayland (which was one of the main reasons I switched from the built-in one)<p>- Chrome Remote Desktop doesn&#x27;t work at all on Wayland, and in fact prevents you from logging in to the Wayland session at all once you log out &#x2F; reboot after installing it<p>I still try to use Wayland though, because Xorg isn&#x27;t perfect either:<p>- colors seem to be more accurate on Wayland<p>- Diodon (clipboard manager) randomly doesn&#x27;t trigger with my custom Win+V keyboard shortcut on Xorg<p>- some apps default to an extremely tiny window on Xorg HiDPI
