That's a perfectly fair criticism as far as the average user is concerned, which is why Plasma and GNOME have both made using Wayland as simple as flipping a switch. You at least seemed to imply that you're a NixOS user, though. Does that not consist mostly of editing config files?

I've got great news for you

In my experience it was much slower, which is unfortunate. I still use bat, but that alias got removed pretty quickly.
