It's a bit complicated but the main gist of it is that they want to sandbox every app. Like how the app can't control its positioning, it can't inject/listen to keypresses(used in voicechat(TTS), obs,...), change the z-level and more. So a lot of things that just works everywhere doesn't but the problem is that wayland devs don't wanna change that, for example, screenshot apps don't work on it because it can only screenshot itself.

While x11 is a security mess, wayland tried to fix that in the worst way possible, by making everything to not work

This latest video of Wayland from @BrodieOnLinux is one of the most elitist and bad faith video I saw of him when trying to defend wayland.

Here's a few points.

* This is pedantic and in a bad faith too but if all minorities(this includes disabled people too) are equal, 1% affected shouldn't be considered second class citizen because "nah, it's only 0.1% of people will need this feature". If minority matters, this is something that should never be used as an argument.

* On the 1% of userbase not being "important". Dude, Linux is that "1%", before Valve investing a lot on Linux, it wasn't even 1% on steam charts and even today it didn't go above 3%. By your logic Valve should never invested on it.

* As someone who had to work/learned about accessibility it's something that it's a complex can of worms but the issue isn't that on windows or Mac isn't good out of the box.

The issue is that while windows/Mac/x11 provides API's or ways to deal with that, wayland doesn't and that's the problem. You can make a good/use good accessibility software but you CAN'T on wayland without going full root mode.

Kerosene

@Kerosene I tried to use nixOs but it's so much work to make it work with a laptop with no-video, setup it properly with all my customizations and packages.

I imagine that after I setup everything it's great because it just works but to get there is too much work
