Personal issues I’ve had and other questions I’ve seen online. It’s not necessarily wayland itself, it might be how other programs treat screen sharing in it. In any case it’s worth a try if it’s an easy change.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How do you explain to your co-workers that you use Libre Office Writer and other Linux apps?

This might be wrong but I think many of screen sharing related issues actually come from wayland. If you’re on wayland and can switch to X11 on your current system I’d try that first before deciding on a new distro.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?
5·3 months agoEven if they don’t end up fully switching it doesn’t matter. Some might switch, some might try dual booting. But saying they are going to switch is free press and may convince more people to try it so that’s still a win.
Some distros come with both pre-installed so you don’t really need to swap out anything. If it’s not pre-installed, I don’t know, you might be right and it won’t fix anything.
I’ve had issues with specific apps that just don’t support it, others that require installing more packages and others that I didn’t care enough to look into. That’s a significant enough number to take it into account when trying things.
