    A switch from X11 to Wayland is not just a minor change to your workflow though unless you used all defaults before.

    It requires you to replace your window manager, all the little tools related to things like clipboard, automation, screen locking,…

    And you would have to do pretty much all of that up front to be able to use Wayland long enough to know if it even works on a permanent basis for you. That is a lot of work to put into a project that has a sketchy history of people claiming for nearly a decade now that it works just fine for everything while clearly not working fine for all use cases.

        I was talking about tools like xsel or xclip or clipboard managers for multiple clipboards.

            The point wasn’t so much that there are no replacements, more that every script and every shortcut and everything else using them will have to be changed to work with the Wayland alternative.

      You use requires but those are not requirements. It applies to some cases.

      Sketchy history? Seems biased.
