Another vote for your answer. I just can’t be bothered to troubleshoot Wayland on Void if X11 just works already for my purposes.
Wayland because X is owned by Elon Musk
He just copied the logo that’s copied from a unicode symbol! ;)
🙈
X11 because my current setup on Wayland crashes constantly, otherwise always Wayland.
Wayland is the future. X11’s future is dead. Unfortunately there are still some growing pains. Xwayland mostly works but I have issues with it sometimes.
X11 because it’s what I already have installed.
When I have/want to make a change then I’ll go with Wayland :)
Currently, you should use X11 unless you have a good reason to use Wayland, such as using multiple monitors with different refresh rates.
There are still some issues with Wayland, but once they are worked out, then Wayland will be the better choice.
I think that time has passed. Many distros default to wayland now.
Use Wayland unless you have issues.
Wayland all the way, 120 hz Freesync monitor with 60 hz second monitor works perfectly on KDE Plasma with AMD. No fussing about with X11 configs or worrying about if the compositor is active or not, it just works.
I can’t seem to get Freesync working on KDE Wayland with a single monitor (NixOS with an AMD R9 380). Any tips? I’m using vrrTest to test, and my TV reports when Freesync is enabled.
Are you using HDMI? Try display port. (Its an old post but maybe related) https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/w3ug4q/enabling_amds_freesync_on_sway/
Yeah. My TV is HDMI-only and doesn’t have any DP inputs.
The open source amd driver doesn’t support freesync with HDMI afaik
I’m not having any issue in XFCE on x11/xorg with a 164Hz main screen @2560x1400, and a 60Hz second screen set vertically @1080x1920. Just using the display manager config provided by XFCE.
X11. I heard NVIDIA is buggy on Wayland. Also, I’ve never really had much problems with X11 and my system setup.
I found that Wayland works better in my case: XPS 17 with Nvidia on Ubuntu lts. Less stuttering and overall smoother feeling. The only issue is that the screen doesn’t always turns on after suspend, but this is healed with ctrl+f1.
Either way is fine usually. If you really care about 1:1 trackpad gestures like I do, get Wayland. If you have an nvidia card, get x11. Otherwise it’s probably not something most people will even notice.
what does 1:1 trackpad mean? and again, input is managed by libinput not by wayland’s compositors
When performing a gesture, the animation on screen matches up to the motion of your fingers. Stopping moving your fingers halfway will stop the animation halfway, and moving slowly will slow the animation.
If you don’t know install a distro and use what comes with it by default and only worry about digging into the plumbing if something doesn’t work for you.
Ideally you let your distro worry about plumbing.
I think Mint is nice if you don’t need bleeding edge stuff. You can use Cinnamon which runs x11 but will eventually support Wayland.
I’ve heard good things about suse which has a rolling release option and supports gnome and KDE under Wayland.
Arch of course is a thing if you don’t mind a manual transmission as it were.
Personally I might pick Mint to get started.
Wayland, but I mourn for X11. So many great tools, you could truly do anything. You’re just not allowed to have fun in Wayland :D
Currently on Wayland with AMD. Only issue is I cannot Steam remote play without relogging into X11, but that is a very infrequent occasion.
Everything else (mostly gaming) works very well for me.
FWIW remote play is fine on GNOME here.
KDE here and definitely was not fine last I tried. I’ll keep messing with it though out of curiosity.
You can use the pipewire capture to do the remote play on wayland session.
Wayland first, but have both installed so you can fall back to X11 if you need to. If you do have to go back check wayland again after every few updates. X is dying a long-needed death. It started off has a hack decades ago and has just been held together with duct tape ever since. There are some not so great things in wayland with some apps, sometimes issues with context menus or screen recording for example, but they’re getting fixed over time.
I do kind of miss x forwarding over SSH. It was really convenient, there might be something for wayland but I haven’t looked for a while.
I tried Waypipe over SSH and it worked. It was long ago, it might be even better now, I don’t know. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/emersion/waypipe
I havent had to use something like that in a while but I’ll have to check that out
I use Wayland because of my multi monitor setup not playing nice otherwise.
