How can we continue with gnome after the change to wayland?

Sorry by my bad english.

Is there some simple documentation on how to do the same things with wayland and X11 at user level?
Sombody can ask… What things?

Well, things like take a image from part of my screen to the clipboard using ctrl-shift-printScreen and other simple things. In my old version of gnome, all works fine (over X11, of course).

GNOME supports partial screenshots very well. Did you encountered any problems? In general, user experience between X11 vs wayland mostly doesn’t exist, except for the fact wayland is significantly less buggy (because no one really cared about x11 backend).

The only way that I could do that was using an application .
Also, I can see the windows opening or loading a page …. which doesn’t happend with X11.

There is some documentation about right configuration of simple things like that?

Today, I’m using XFCE by the moment.

Hello @Fernando_Carpani

To address your concerns regarding the transition from X11 to Wayland on GNOME:

1. Screenshot Shortcut:

In recent GNOME versions (42+), the screenshot tool is integrated into the shell. Pressing the PrintScreen key now triggers an interactive UI. By default, any selection you make is automatically copied to the clipboard while being saved to your Pictures folder. If you prefer the old dedicated shortcut, you can re-bind it under Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. Look for “Copy a screenshot of an area to clipboard.”

2. Window Loading/Rendering:

The “loading” or visual transition you noticed is likely due to how Wayland handles frame synchronization compared to X11. Wayland ensures tear-free rendering, which can sometimes result in a different “feel” during window redraws. If you are using an NVIDIA GPU, this is a known point of friction that is significantly improved in the latest driver versions (555 and above) which support explicit sync.

If XFCE currently meets your workflow needs, it remains a solid choice as it still relies on X11, but for GNOME, embracing the new built-in tools is generally the recommended path for Wayland stability.
