I can't remember what broke, but I'm on archlinux with KDE, which gives you a choice of X or Wayland. I used X for ages, decided to try out Wayland, and immediately something didn't work. It might have been discord screen share but I can't remember tbh. That's why I'm still using X.
I committed to moving over about 6 months back but screen sharing is the one thing i've still not been able to conquer. I get around it by having a laptop I can share from but it can be quite annoying.
If you're on a distro with pipewire as a new default, it is definitely worth installing because many DE's now use pipewire for screen recording on Wayland, and since that feature rolled out I've never had a major issue with it. (Besides firefox not selecting windows properly)
