Hey guys, what are the pros and cons to wayland if I intend to use my PC for gaming + others?

Comparisons to X?

General impressions?

Your advice on if I should use it or stick with X?

My PC parts are arriving soon, and while Ive been a linux user since 2016 its the first time I intend to fully main drive linux, so I guess im just looking for as much information as I can get on it.

Feel free to post links to articles or anything that will answer if you prefer, we’re on a link aggregator after all ;) and I dont mind reading.

Thanks in advance :)

    I’m not a distro hopper. I settled on Ubuntu, which was fairly quick to adopt Wayland. I haven’t had any issues beyond the occasional app (kitty) that doesn’t show decorations properly without minor tweaking. (And, despite its name, X forwarding over SSH works just fine.)
