> I was forced back to X11 because I rely on screensharing to do my job properly.

Wayland screensharing has worked for a long time. I remember using it early in the pandemic when the entire working world seemed to move to Zoom/etc for meetings. So, at least ~5 years?

This is a great example of how horrible the situation is under Wayland.

Screen sharing sometimes works. Sometimes doesn't. For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1ebwaz4/is_wayland_scr...

There are countless such threads. Something that always worked perfectly out of the box now has endless workarounds per compositor/desktop system that you use.

Exactly this. Somehow the wayland evangelists don't seem to understand that it's not acceptable that something that was trivial to do and reliable for decades is suddenly buggy and broken half the time.

  I RESOLVED IT by using the x11 protocol
Lol, yep, that's the solution for most of these issues.
