I switched to wayland a few weeks ago, just because it seems to save a lot of battery power. But so much basic functionality is still broken it&amp;#x27;s infuriating. And then so many things seem to follow the &amp;quot;unix functionality&amp;quot; and as a result they&amp;#x27;re half baked tools that aren&amp;#x27;t really working properly IMHO.&lt;p&gt;A lot of these issues have fixes or workarounds directly in KDE.&lt;p&gt;For reference I&amp;#x27;m using sway. swayidle is an idle daemon, where the maintainer doesn&amp;#x27;t think that it matters whether its connected to power or not. You&amp;#x27;re supposed to create your own scripts around it that handles ac connect and disconnects.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s a tool to do flux like color warmth setting. One of them doesn&amp;#x27;t allow you to toggle, so you have create your own toggle script that kills or restarts it. The other one is controllable, but doesn&amp;#x27;t actually account for time or timezone.&lt;p&gt;XWayland has had 2 or 3 patches to handle hidpi when the main wayland screen has fractional scaling, none of them are merged and they seem hardly active. KDE works around that by allowing you to turn it off for xwayland clients. Sway just passes it down and blurs everything.&lt;p&gt;When I exit a wayland session and then restart it the screen locks up. This doesn&amp;#x27;t happen with normal X.&lt;p&gt;And then there is electron. Slack is not the only app that ignores electron settings and doesn&amp;#x27;t run with wayland support. In chrome and electron it&amp;#x27;s supposedly supported but you have to toggle it yourself? What is this madness?&lt;p&gt;These things seem like basic functionality for me. I don&amp;#x27;t really get it. Sure, maybe I shouldn&amp;#x27;t expect a proper experience for random sway tools, so that makes the first two points irrelevant. But the fact that years in they still haven&amp;#x27;t found a proper solution on passing down hidpi for xwayland? That&amp;#x27;s incomprehensible for me.</text></comment>

(now I wish &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;phil294&amp;#x2F;AHK_X11&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;phil294&amp;#x2F;AHK_X11&lt;/a&gt; had a Wayland option...)&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#x27;t live without Office! My personal favorite is 2010 x64, as Word then starts faster than the current Wordpad.&lt;p&gt;Office 2010 works great in Windows 11, but there&amp;#x27;ve been some suspicious move making me believe old office version will be given a poison pill or something under the plausible deniability of &amp;quot;security risks of 13 year old software&amp;quot;, like how Outlook 2010 can&amp;#x27;t connect to outlook.com anymore (though it works great with gmail using google&amp;#x27;s GWSO plugin)&lt;p&gt;On &lt;i&gt;MY&lt;/i&gt; computer, I run what &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; want. So I&amp;#x27;ll try Office 2010 in wine within Wayland.</text></comment>
