So, it does work, just not the way you would prefer it to?

No because it crashes bro, key events aren't properly registered, getting ghosted keys or whatever the term is, when it's to busy rendering the window animations or Workspace animations.

I'll tell you what, it's super convenient for red hat/IBM or whoever else is paying for the development of gnome and KDE development to install spyware, because now everything goes via Wayland protocol.

Wait, wait, going via a wayland protocol means each piece of software requires you to opt into what it collects, on X11 they can just read everything all the time no matter what, spyware in X11 is trivially easy, it's much harder when it goes via a wayland protocol.

Also, is what you're describing on gnome or KDE? As I understand it, KDE separates those parts out, so one shouldn't block the other.
