Using the latest Ubuntu lts is company policy if you want to use Linux. All support for x11 is removed from gnome, you can’t even change x11 anymore. I switch workspaces all the time, like web browser in one, dev env and terminal, so constantly switching, 50% of the time it will miss the key up event from your keyboard and it’s registering that you are holding the key down.
Gnome randomly crashes, for instance sometimes clicking on a link that someone sent you, just randomly crashes gnomes, happened yesterday. So all the processes you started via gnome is gone, you need to reopen all your tools again, happens at least 6 times a week.
Sometimes gdm doesn’t work, so you can’t login, you have to open another tty and reset gdm in the other session. It’s so bad, never had these issues before in x11, sure there were bugs, but not annoying bugs.
Driver issues or not, it’s annoying as fuck. Gnome developers (redhat or whoever sells support for gnome) implementing the display server, gg.
I’m sorry to hear that.
I’ve been using GNOME+Wayland on a few distros, including Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Arch, on at least 3 different computers, and I also use workspaces and keyboard shortcuts extensively: I’ve never encountered such problems.
I remember warching a video on YouTube, by The Linux Experiment, where he criticized the GNOME experience on tablets, just to discover later that it was an Ubuntu issue, and that other distros would work well: maybe this is the case, too?
Or maybe your computer has one of those older NVIDIA GPUs, which are infamous for working bad in Wayland due to driver issues.
