Wayland, nvidia is the only reason not to use it these days as far as i’m concerned.

If not on Wayland, what’s stopping you?

NVIDIA :(

X, because honestly my screen works and don’t currently need to replace the server behind it.

X because when I try selecting Wayland from sddm the screen goes black and then takes me back to sddm. I’m on manjaro and I’ve done no configuration and I’ve not attempted to install Wayland I just assume because it’s an option in my drop down that it’s been installed.

Wayland, I like the smooth scrolling, the touchpad gestures, and the not being unmaintained / unmaintainable aspect.

I’m on Wayland on all computers. The main pain point I have with Wayland at this moment is the lack of session save/restore (remembering which windows were open and saving their state on logout, and restoring all on login).

I’m on X atm. Wayland works, but it stops some configs from working properly. For example I have endeavour set up to not only notify me of updates, but I can click on the icon in the tray and it will start the update on X, where on Wayland the tray icon doesn’t show so I have to manually update my system. I like the simplistic click and go the tray icon offers me. This is just one feature I run into problems with. I don’t run NVIDIA so I don’t have the compatibility issue with that.

I use Wayland and love it, but have two serious issues:

1. Sunshine does not show a mouse cursor without a hack that kills performance.
2. Have to disable asyc reprojection in order to use VR.
   Bonus less serious issue: I can’t re-dock floating toolbars on X applications when using XWayland.

Wayland, because I’m late enough to the party that I started with it and haven’t really had any issues.

X still. I’ve tested and found an additional 16ms latency on Wayland, and it’s really annoying trying to do OBS Window Capture as I have to re-grant the sandbox permissions for each window every time I use it.

Wayland, I’ve tried X but it just seems so much slower

Wayland on most machines, X11 on my desktop with Nvidia GPU. On all my non-Nvidia machines, Wayland works great. The screens tear less, and the gestures are more responsive.

I try out Plasma Wayland with Nvidia GPU from time to time, but last time I tried (a few months ago), there were still some showstoppers. For example:

1. KRunner hangs and can’t be opened again.
2. Panel freezes visually.
3. Pipewire screen sharing results in a black canvas.

Despite having an nvidia card, i use wayland and deal with the glitches cause once you’ve gotten a taste you can’t go back

X11 because what we really needed was X12 but instead we threw the baby out with the bath water.

Wayland!
It has advanced a lot lately, I’ve been daily driving it for months now with no issues, compared to a couple of Plasma versions ago where it would break itself in 5 minutes lol.
Only thing I’m missing is a good remote access solution. I’m currently making do with Sunshine + Moonlight but it has the very annoying bug of not showing the mouse cursor.

Edit: lol just realized this post is 1 month old. Really looking forward to Lemmy fixing this bug.
