It seems Linux Mint is dropping GNU coreutils in favor of rust-coreutils following Ubuntu.

So your argument for x11 is Wayland doesn't work on crts and doesn't let all programs access clipboard and kb events freely? If you are using a cat, then use x11, thats why it's an option
Except it's not an option if we want to use our normal DE.
(Also, CRT monitors are normal monitors. And they're actually pretty great. OLED-level blacks, even! Just gotta watch your refresh rate, 60 Hz flickers like crazy if you use a light theme. 70 is fine for us.)
I know CRTs are good(ish), but there not a standard use case. Also most mainstream des support both x11 and wayland
Sure they support both X11 and Wayland for NOW.
KDE soon won't, and that's the one we use.
Gnome I got no clue, we don't use Gnome.
Cinnamon is likely to be alright and supporting X for a good while.
Also like... "but that's not STANDARD!" is literally my entire point. That's the problem. "That's not a standard use case" being used as basically a "go fuck yourself, you don't matter".
Linux should support the weird stuff too. "That's not a standard use case" could be used to reject just about anything you don't like, even, say, custom fonts.
That is all fair, and I'm sure there's other issues with Wayland, but really all my issuis come down to xwayland problems. I didn't realize KDE was dropping x11 though, that is unfortunate
