Switch to Wayland

I choose hyprland as my Wayland window manager(and compositor) which is based on wlroots, it is a really new compositor with a lot of great features, and also it is pretty stable(according to the office). Here is the stars over time charts for it:

Please use Emacs with pgtk (pure GTK) build to support Wayland. The 29 version of Emacs officially support build with pgtk flag=. You can simply get it from AUR:

1. nm-applet not appears on Waybar tray (at least for me), so I use nmtui in terminal to manage my network connection instead.
2. megasync not working properly
3. jetbrains-toolbox not appears on the Waybar tray.
