    GNOME on Wayland in Fedora 21 (Fedora Magazine)
    Here's a
    Fedora Magazine article
    on how Wayland works (or doesn't) in the
    upcoming Fedora 21 release. "The list of apps that don’t
    support Wayland yet is: Terminal, Empathy, Totem, PiTiVi, Sushi. From my
    experience the list is in fact longer. I couldn’t, for example, run GNOME’s
    “Software” application on Wayland. This also applies to pretty much all
    other applications (Firefox, LibreOffice, etc.) and you need to run them
    using XWayland. Fullscreen apps don’t work at all from my
    experience.
    " The good news is that a lot of other stuff works well.
