> File Roller still doesn't support drag'n'drop in Wayland

Fwiw Wayland is a bit of a disaster, see: https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d...

There was an HN thread on this, but it was flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38210694

This page is mostly a bunch of lies and shows little understanding of what wayland is and what it is not. It should definitely be flagged
For someone as clueless as me, would you care addressing them all one by one? That would be more than welcome.
Time's too valuable to make that worthwhile, especially when a large amount of them boil down to: Wayland is not X and tools designed for interfacing with X-specific details will not work on Wayland without modification.
X-specific details here include being in control of your own computer.
Use the search bar at the bottom. Every week we have a new Linux post with 200 comments of complaints about Wayland.

Reddit, Phoronix, the entire internet has people complaining about Wayland. It's really not hard to find them.
