"Instead of sending public money to distant corporations, funds stay local and support IT jobs for regional developers and entrepreneurs.

Oh thank $deity I can still launch #Chrome with --ozone-platform=x11 even though the configuration flag has been removed. Because #Wayland breaks *so many things* for me.

Surely I'm not the only one seeing dropdowns, tooltips etc. render in top-left corner of my screen under Wayland?
