I'm glad they're taking their time and doing things thoroughly, as an end user I don't want to run into some opaque issues related to window managers, shit should just work.

shit should just work

The one ancient goal that any OS is trying to achieve and struggles with to this day.

With how Microslop is sabotaging itself, I'm not sure if that's something they're trying to achieve for Windows

It's not exactly the same, but you could give Meshcentral a try

For half a year I've been using it as a daily driver at home and at work for productivity and game on tiling and floating WMs, and so far the only thing that doesn't work is the screen sharing on my offbrand Teams package I gotta trot out once in a while.

But then I just switch from Sway to Gnome on Wayland, so I can't even blame Wayland then.

You just need to be aware when packages are expecting X and find alternatives.

I have Teams working smoothly bybusijg the WebApps thing, launching a single Firefox (which is not my primary browser).

I then have 2 profiles, and Teamsnis a pinned tab in the Work profile (other chat webapps are pinned tabs in the personal profile). So all those tabs in various profiles are opened in this one window, which I then call "Chat Apps" in the launcher. I make the Firefox UI completely autohide except the titlebar and side tab bar.

This works flawlessly for all sharing and calls and notifications. And if I wanna be done with work I can close or Unload(hibernatr) the Teams tab.

Anyway, if you don't want the whole tabbed thing, you can try to use the web app thing to launch teams in web mode that has so far worked better than any package I've tried.

My girlfriend and I like to incorporate roleplay into our sex life.

The other day she told me she wants to do the sexy nurse / patient fantasy crossed with some light bondage.

So anyway, I'm tied up, and you know those little plastic horses you'll get as part of some kids toy farm pack? She starts pushing one up my ass.

I'm screaming at her, asking her what she's doing, and she's changed the fantasy from nurse to surgeon, she starts narrating: "where's the anethstesiologisth?! I need 20 CC's of fent"

The first horse disappears, and she starts with the next one, then the one after that.

When the final horse disappears she says "Mr. Wayland is stable."

Because stable is where you put horses, duh.

Yeah, stable like the government of North Korea. Doesn't mean I want it on my machine.

Is there a real technical reason why you don't want Wayland?

It being stable is in fact kinda why it sucks, it'd be great if it would collapse
