Why do you think Wayland is better than x11?
Mostly asking from a user experience angle. I know Wayland supports some features x11 doesn’t. What I’ve read also makes x11’s code sound like a big mess, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for usability.
I’ve struggled a bit with getting games to run after moving to pop os 24.04 from 22.04 and I think the problems are Wayland related for much of it, but I haven’t tried other distros to rule out cosmic.
Eh, we could talk about security and the ancientness of X11, but the fact is wayland is where the dev is happening , you may lag a bit with LTS kernels, but it’ll get there.
Still wish I could cast an apps window to another machine (someone got a way with wayland) but otherwise with a modern kernel it significantly outperforms X. Give Bazzite a whirl, you’ll see.
Wayland is a “new” windowing system so not all software support it, or look the same as on X11.
From what I understand, Wayland will support many new features but is under continuous development.
One of the examples of Wayland modernity is that Waydroid allows users to run Android apps but require Wayland to be able to. It’s kind of in the name I suppose.
