Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

1. Format and partition the hard drive

Create the GPT partition table
- $ parted /dev/sdX mklabel gpt
Create the UEFI FAT32 partition (which will be /dev/sdXY)
- $ parted /dev/sdX mkpart esp fat32 1MiB 512MiB
- $ parted /dev/sdX set 1 esp on
- $ parted /dev/sdX set 1 boot on

$ mkfs.fat -F 32 -n UEFI /dev/sdXY
