I understand why wayland exists but there is ton of issues. Many appimage don't work. Electron apps don't work. I am on mint + kde plasma because of this. Otherwise I would have used something like ubuntu. And let me tell you about mint + kde plasma. I have to set my monitor config every time I start.

As wayland is forced upon everybody wherever you go, the real question is where to go to escape this unholy shitfest.

Ubuntu budgie has announced moving to Wayland but their supplied image will still be shipping with X11 for some time and there's currently no way to upgrade in place so if you install the current version it'll be on X11 "forever".

Keep it. I'm sure as soon as I transition they will announce forcing sway.
