Major distros are soon switching to versions of desktop environments that use Wayland instead of X11. This is a bad state of affairs for accessibility.
the infuriating thing is I’m on wayland because I have to be on wayland but given the option I would use x11 simply because the choices for WM’s are better and overall I prefer x11 even though I know it’s “dying”.
The problem is on my specific main laptop which I use for work and everything it’s a dual amd/nvidia GPUs. Nvidia being the main GPU and AMD being secondary. x11 does NOT like this at all. So some programs will completely crash out if left unfocused for more than 2minutes. i.e. i’m testing something and need to move away from that workspace and if I go back the thing is graphically unresponsive. on Wayland it’s not an issue. Gaming on x11? forget about it, it’s a no go.
Now there are things on Wayland that just infuriate me. For example Discord. If i’m on a call with someone on discord I HAVE to keep that discord workspace active otherwise I can’t use the keybinds to push to talk or anything. on x11? not an issue. So i’m constantly having to switch my WM’s from a wayland one to an x11 one for the dumbest reasons.
