For example, take desktop icons. These aren&amp;#x27;t really a GNOME 3.x thing, though you could use Gnome Tweak Tools if you can get them, but they are not supported in Wayland and never will be. I&amp;#x27;ve also been unable to find a clipboard manager that works properly under Wayland. The other problem I&amp;#x27;ve run into is that neither of the tint-shifting applications I use work with Wayland. Neither f.lux nor redshift do anything when running under Wayland. Judging by posts from around the Web, video playback is sometimes an issue too, though I have not actually experienced this problem. In terms of hardware support and Wayland, I would definitely suggest sticking with kernel 4.8.x or newer, which is exactly what Fedora 25 ships with. The other major gripe I have with Wayland is that it doesn&amp;#x27;t appear to support fractional scaling for HiDPI screens. It works great at 2X, which covers most screens, but there are those where 1X is too small, but 2X is too much. If you have a screen that works best at 1.5X, you might want to stick with X for now.
Those are, however, relatively minor issues.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;So desktop icons, no proper clipboard, no fractional HiDPI scaling, video playback issues, and those are &amp;quot;relatively minor issues&amp;quot;?&lt;p&gt;The only actually &amp;quot;relatively minor&amp;quot; issue he mentions is the lack of screen-tinting support (a la f.lux). The above seem quite major to me...</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Fedora 25: With Wayland, Linux has never been easier (or more handsome)</title><url>http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/12/fedora-25-review-the-best-linux-distro-of-2016-arrived-at-the-last-moment/</url></story>

But one of the things I really like about X is that you can have a config file and specify exactly which devices you want. In this way, you can connect two keyboards, two mice and two video cards to the same machine and have two totally different login screens. You can essentially have two people logged into the same machine as if they were using two different terminals (just do try to plug in a USB device if both users have automounters running).&lt;p&gt;Even on my current single user machine, I still run multiple X servers (one for my work related stuff and one for non-work. I work remotely so that way, I can just switch X servers at the end of the business day).&lt;p&gt;Can Wayland support multiple terminals on a single machine in the same way? Can you have two Wayland instances running like you can with X servers?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Fedora 25: With Wayland, Linux has never been easier (or more handsome)</title><url>http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/12/fedora-25-review-the-best-linux-distro-of-2016-arrived-at-the-last-moment/</url></story>
