I bought an AMD gpu to use sway, I feel like the fuckers owe me 50 usd now which is what I payed for the gpu.

And it’s devs are not willing to fix the most basic issues like correctly handing a fucking environment variable lmao

Not to mention I have a different issue that I haven’t even bothered to report because I already know won’t be implemented:

I have 3 displays that right now I use xrandr to merge the 3 displays into one, this is not possible in any wayland compositor today, the closest thing I found was someone suggesting to use gamescope to make a window with the resolution of the 3 displays but that’s a hack and doesn’t work for me because I need the displays to be merged, not just span a single window across them.

There is also no universal xdotool or similar in wayland to query info about windows, so you have to learn to use the CLI tool provided by each DE/WM and then handle the data, which in the case of sway it is json formatted.

So what used to be a simple xdotool <args> | grep became needlessly overcomplicated and different for each wayland DE/WM.
