Re: is Wayland/Weston mature enough to be the default desktop choice in Buster?
Hi,

I second that since I always refuse to use Wayland, due to
1. Gnome's keyboard configuration under wayland is definitely rubbish.
I need extremely high keyboard repeat rate and short latency:
xset r rate 160 160
The fastest repeat rate feels like 10 times slower than my
preference. I didn't manage to find out the CLI way to enforce an
extremely high key repeat rate under wayland.
2. redshift doesn't work under wayland. There seems to be no CLI
program available for such purpose.
3. I don't know whether this has been improved, but in the past
the mouse cursor latency was very obvious.
