Why use wayland over x11
| as someone who's used wayland since way before cursor locking was a thing.
unless you wanna do some jank multi-seat desktop setup there's ablosutely no legit reason it's actually dumb if you want stability it just causes issues because half the things support it properly and some things STILL crash randomly because of it.
Firefox litterally cannot download files at the moment works fine on X.
| just sticking with it because i like swaywm, interested in waylands progress. new stuff it brings is interesting.
But even programs specificly made for wayland esentially pretend wayland-only features don't exist, as if their still dealing with the limitations of X.
which makes wayland wholly pointless in practice and a detriment. for now, i really hope this won't be the case at some point also there's nothing wayland can do inheritly to fix this.
| in summary:
woo i can plugin 2 mice and haz 2 cursor, ono i open any app it crap itself
| in summary: the second
lemme play openttd and openttd simultaneously as two seperate players or i say ur code bad, on the internet, anonymously, dis a read threat
| the fuck you're talking about, I can download files with Firefox, no problem
As of now, Wayland is of course way more secure, has a better battery life, a smoother framerate and less latency on average desktop use case, different refresh rate with multiple screens...
The tearing protocol for less latency in gaming use case will arrive with Linux 6.8

ok, cool, so you don't have one of the heap of bugs i do cool. can you honestly say that you have used wayland with a large range of applications for a long period of time and not just have it compleatly crash once? or make a window invisible or glitch of the input? and that every game and editor has been identical as on a x server without needing any tweaks?
because if so i'm convinced you just got some lts distro and never changed anything.

not trying to provoke it just genuenly feels like one of those comments. "My system works perfectly, i only use the browser"
| Honestly Wayland is more about making it easier for devs to maintain and build a platform they can add features to later
So right now it might not be worth switching for you but the idea is it will eventually be better than x11 and it'll be much easier to maintain etc later on
| Wake me up when Wayland works properly on my Pentium III machine.
The only argument for it I know are dual monitor setup kiddies.
| >>c5f816 sorry for the long wait, I'm using wayland dayly for about 2 years on archlinux, yes it had weird bugs but kde patched them
| what is even your de and distro, and gpu, and no I don't just use the browser lmao.
| some security stuff
