    What features are you talking about?

    People say this all the time but can never give any actual examples.

      Global keyboard shortcuts, copy-paste, window position save/restore, screen recording, probably a few others I’m forgetting. I know some compositors implement these, but they aren’t part of the Wayland standard so it’s a bit hit-or-miss afaik.

        ^screencopy (screen recording)

        https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/264

        ^window positioning (although still being worked on, definitely not in the category of won’tfix)

        https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/624

        ^global shortcuts was moved to portals but is in pretty much all compositors (except wlroots, but that’s also being worked on and not in won’tfix)

        I don’t know what you’re talking about with copy-paste, that has worked for a millenia

        Literally none of these things are as described won’tfix for security reasons. Also, wayland is a core set of protocols, you’re meant to use the ext block for things that aren’t essential for basic functioning (such as screenshotting), that doesn’t mean they don’t work or aren’t implemented properly, they’re done separately because they AREN’T core to functioning, there are certain compositors that don’t want the ability to take screenshots, for example.

        None of those were actually true, can you list an actual example?

        Seems like FUD to me.
