Yet nothing works on Wayland. This is the kind of stuff that boils my blood as a linux user. In my arch install I do not intend to uninstall X for the next decade or so. Every time I tried switching to Wayland it was a circus of dozens of bugs and workflow I use everyday for work being "not supported".

I realize it's probably a waste to say this to someone with your username, but getting angry at the situation is futile. You shouldn't use Linux if you're not used to random stuff changing and breaking by now and you're not comfortable adapting to those changes. Doubly so for a rolling release distro like Arch. X was obsolete and a security disaster last decade, holding onto it for another decade is just masochism. If this all is to much trouble for you to run a Unix-like desktop and keep it updated, there's always MacOS. They never even made the initial mistake of using X.

I'm using arch with Wayland and Sway and don't see any major issues. The only time I use X is via XWayland for games.
