> Maybe you need to try wayland with an alternative backend?

And this is the inherent problem with Wayland. Now we have to deal with a combinatorial explosion of things to try to get something that "just works."

Which, because we're talking rendering and GPU and drivers, is incredibly frustrating, because if we're here, it's because the system doesn't have working GPU drivers, at which point, a misconfiguration is a crash and a power cycle and a "hope pstore managed to save something", and the hardware/software cursor settings getting lost somewhere-how.
More like some toolkits have really poor wayland support (cough anything GTK/Gnome cough)
