With X11 having been de-facto killed by people saying Wayland is ready and just works, now things are getting in disrepair. My previously working workflow of 20+ years already has been broken.

Meanwhile, every Wayland compositor I try either lacks basic features, sucks and/or is brittle and crashes.

Why is using desktop Linux in 2024 a worse experience than in 2003, 2004, 2005, ... 2019?

What am I even supposed to do? Just stop using graphical apps?

Do I have to add another humongous project to my teetering pile of yaks?
