A project aimed at fixing errors and shortcomings in GNOME when running on Wayland

Hans De Goede (Hans de Goede), a developer of Fedora Linux working at Red Hat, presented the "Wayland Itches" project aimed at fixing bugs and addressing issues that arise during everyday use of the GNOME desktop running on Wayland.

Although Fedora has long offered a GNOME session based on Wayland by default, Hans is one of the developers of libinput and the input system for Wayland, until recently, he continued to use an X server session in everyday work due to various minor issues in the Wayland environment. Hans decided to address these problems himself, switched to Wayland by default, and founded the "Wayland Itches" project, in which he started fixing bugs and issues as they appeared. Hans invites users to send him feedback via email ("hdegoede at redhat.com") regarding GNOME's performance on Wayland, detailing the issues, and he will attempt to resolve them.

Currently, he has successfully made the TopIcons extension work with Wayland (there had been issues with crashing, high CPU load, and non-responsive clicks on icons) and resolved problems with hotkeys and shortcuts in VirtualBox virtual machines. Hans tried switching to the build of Firefox with Wayland, but had to revert to the x11 build due to issues that he is now working to resolve with Mozilla developers. issues, which he is currently trying to resolve together with Mozilla developers.
