Wayland is great, if you run exactly the right hardware and software.
Distros going to it by default is extremely premature. Very few people have that hardware.
Another example of Linux not being fit for people who need to get shit done without having to build a new PC.
What does Wayland offer to the user? Nothing I can think of.
Better scaling, per monitor refresh rates, and tears.
Xorg performance for those is fine by me. I don't want window animations. I just want a stable DE.
It does suck because I have non matching monitors, one of which is 60 hz, the other is 165hz. So I’m locked to 60.
But old OpenGL stuff doesn’t display right at *all* on Wayland - that’s just the first absolute blocker for me, and there’s way more.
I’ve been told if I buy an AMD gfx card it’d be better, but everyone uses nvidia.
I see. I use one monitor so never had a problem like that.
For the past months i switched between wayland and xorg back and forth, iprefer wayland more in term of smoothness and rendering stability, plus it's minimal code.
But i am back now on X11 because i like to use DWM only with SXHKD and screeshare beside a wacom tablet. I couldn't make any of those work on DWL (dwm fork for wayland).
The Auto DPI scaling thing on Wayland is gorgeous :(
