Does anyone here use the middle button for pasting? I only ever use it on the terminal, if ever.

Hardly, most mice these days made wheel-click so uncomfortable...

On the topic of Wayland support, great news indeed. With KDE 5.12 LTS committing to Wayland, Gnome on Fedora committing to Wayland, looks like it's finally getting a push.

Wow, best news in a while! Bugs are meant to be squashed, and will be as soon as the main support is in (and enabled).

I almost lost my hope on Mozilla to finally do this step. Even if there are some bugs, we really need Firefox on Wayland. Some days ago I did test the flatpak build of FirefoxNightlyWayland on Plasma-Wayland... it did run, but I couldn't do anything. Anyway, I'm happy that there is some activity now!

hope they start working on vulkan acceleration next

That's up to WebRender. And indeed, there are plans for WebRender to start using gfx-rs ( https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx ) as their backend, and gfx-rs has Vulkan support.

Besides Firefox 59 being the release doing away with GTK2 support, this next Mozilla web-browser release might be the one to achieve working native Wayland support...
