Could the problem be COSMIC? Put differently, why do you assume that the issue is with Wayland rather than the work System76 did to support Wayland?

Because many other DMs and WMs do not have issues with Wayland.

Yes, I believe I said exactly that.

No, because you’re concluding from your experience and a single article that Wayland in general is bad.

I am saying that perhaps your experience has nothing to do with Wayland directly, so maybe you should still give Wayland a chance.

You can see many others in this thread contradicting the article’s complaints.

I stated no conclusions. I have not tried COSMIC, and I said that it’s COSMIC and Wayland seem to be problematic for people who have tried Pop_OS 24.04. (The one fact I do know is that Synergy, which I rely on, is still working on Wayland support.)

My only “conclusion” is that Pop_OS 24.04 seems to be incompatible with having a desktop that just works.

Ah, perhaps I misread your conclusion then. I hope COSMIC irons out the issues.
