  • I assume he's talking about this issue.

  • Electron

  • I wondered when this will get asked. I would say, if X works for you stick with it. Wayland is nice, but not everything is yet Wayland native. But for example Electron should get support in the new Electron 12 release coming out in March. But right now, you will still have to rely on XWayland from time to time. I would say Wayland will probably be the future, but that's just my opinion and don't take my word for it. I am not going to convince you here that A is better than B, I think it's up to everybody's preference.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
