(spacefm and megasync for me). I was able to get around the megasyc issue by switching to megaCMD and I begrudgingly swapped back to PCManFM with gvfs for file management
* While some "X11-specific" tools are no longer needed, their functionality simply isn't properly replicated for more advanced/niche workflows. For example, while "appid" is mostly a sufficient replacement for "Window Class" when setting up window rules, there are still some weird inconsistencies if you're used to the behavior under X11

There's a lot more that could be said, but this post already risks being reported because of the length, so here's the TLDR. Wayland is very much usable in 2026 and is actually a better general computing experience than X11 for me. However, it does require some compromises and changes in your workflow. Despite what the vocal minority online says, much of the functionality that wayland lacks in comparison to xorg is very hyper-specific and only a small subset of users cannot replicate or find a reasonable alternative on wayland. I still see significant value in X11/XLibre maintenance depending on your use case, but as for me and my house, we will be transitioning to wayland
