@alisynthesis me too, on macOS it is very usable despite occasional glitches (usually fixed by restarting the app).
but when literally the first thing i try to do with it here fails it feels like the Linux support is an afterthought

@ahihi It's pretty easy to switch between X11 and Wayland sessions at the login screen.
Honestly I decided to just stick with X11 for everything. I used Wayland for a while and it felt indistinguishable from X11 in terms of experience -- except for more freezes on my laptop when using Wayland.

You can use xeyes as a fun way to check if it is running under xwayland or not.
