Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it’s not easy as “Wayland support? Yes” (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it’s not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

    because for most of them, there is nothing to port them to. Wayland is incomplete… by design.

      What are advantages of being

      incomplete… by design ?

      I know Wayland is simpler but it should cover almost every highly requested feature if developers need it.

        “almost” being the key word there.
