On X11 I use simplescreenrecorder no matter the desktop (I mostly use i3wm or KDE Plasma depending on the circumstances).&lt;p&gt;Also what&amp;#x27;s the way to set a different keymap, that would work for any wayland compositor ? `setxkbmap` used to work but doesn&amp;#x27;t anymore and this is fairly frustrating and I really really don&amp;#x27;t want to have to learn one command per compositor.&lt;p&gt;Moving windows (or even the mouse cursor) also feels absolutely &lt;i&gt;sluggish&lt;/i&gt; on wayland, like the frame rate is halved.&lt;p&gt;X11 &amp;#x2F; i3 : &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;streamable.com&amp;#x2F;fo8ixw&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;streamable.com&amp;#x2F;fo8ixw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;weston-eglstream : &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;streamable.com&amp;#x2F;wmp6vy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;streamable.com&amp;#x2F;wmp6vy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also switching in&amp;#x2F;out from a wayland tty apparently gets it stuck here.&lt;p&gt;etc etc... it&amp;#x27;s just painful from start to end</text></comment>
