How did you even get the picture of the W fan? W doesn’t even provide screen capture, nor global hotkeys to make PrintScreen work.

? Yes it does. None of the Wayland apps I’ve installed that take screenshots have had any issue doing so, and global hotkeys in KDE work just fine.

It doesn’t, it just delegates the responsibility to something else, namely xdg-desktop-portal and/or your compositor. The main issue with global hotkeys is that applications can’t usually set them, e.g. Discord push-to-talk, rather the compositor has to set them and the application needs to communicate with the compositor. This is fundamentally different from how it worked with X11 so naturally adoption is slow.

Well yeah. Wayland is a protocol, not an application. There’s nothing it can do except delegate to one of the two ends of the connection.

My laptop refuses to go beyond 30hz on 5120*1440, so Wayland and X11 both feel laggy. But at least X11 is stable, can’t say the same for Wayland, no matter how much I want to like it.
