Linux: Xorg vs. Wayland

This discourse should probably be moved to a new thread (The State of Wayland or similar), but I’m gonna interact with it anyway.

Oof, hopefully Wayland support for nvidia will improve before then. I’m still using x11 because of desktop mouse stuttering with my nvidia eGPU on Wayland. All I have to contend with right now is minor screen tearing that can apparently be solved by better hardware (a G-Sync screen)

(Quoted post edited.)

I’ll adopt Wayland when doing so won’t be a regression in functionality. I’m not optimistic about having a lot of reduced functionality now for a better technology in the future: people will adopt what works. Right now, xorg works, Wayland almost works but has a few dealbreakers. I ask the early adopters to be patient with us. I waited two years and six tries to swap to Linux for my dealbreaker issues with my eGPU to be resolved in kernel space. You can do the same with us xorg believers.
