I have been watching Wayland with interest since it's beginning.
There is still one thing which prevents me from switching. I
need to attend remote meetings, using teams, zoom, etc. I always
prefer to use the web interfaces for those, through chrome
(firefox won't work on teams). If I use wayland and I try to
share a window, only some windows are available to share -
presumably the native X11 ones are not available choices. Until
this is resolved it's X11 for me.
I’ve shared individual Wayland windows through Chrome and Google Meet:
1.Go to chrome://flags
2.Search "Preferred Ozone platform"
3.Set it to "Wayland"
4.Restart Chrome
You can also launch Chrome with: --ozone-platform=wayland
When you go to share, it’ll ask you for permission and you can
choose whole screen or certain windows. It might be something
that requires GNOME’s mutter though, I haven’t tried any other
Wayland-compatible desktop environment. I’ve used it with Zoom
too, although not recently since my job requires Meet.
I'm still using X11 with KDE as it seems to me that Wayland still does
not play properly with KDE, plus I haven't seen any updates to the F35
situation of KDE and Wayland not being compatible. With the small test I
gave Wayland when I installed F36 from scratch, I found that the launch
feedback settings for apps gets ignored even though they are set in
system-settings and in the icon data on the desktop, and when in the
taskbar edit mode, the button for the option settings doesn't work but
it works fine in X11.

Thanks, but just tried it - doesn't work. I only see one window
available to share. I have also a konsole window and okular running,
but these are not shown as choices under share window. I started
chrome with --ozone-platorm=wayland in a waland-plasma session. Then
I started google meet from this chrome browser. I believe only
wayland-native windows show as choices in the 'share window'.
Interesting that emacs shows up - it is recent 28.1.91 (a pre-release
of 28.2 I guess). Tried opening several other apps, including firefox
with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, but none show as choices to share except
emacs.
