    I am excited about Wayland. I’m just waiting on PopOS to run it as the default. I’ve tried using it but I was getting hard locks when I left my computer idle for a while.

    The logs made it seem like it was a Wayland issue so I switched back to x11 for now. It hasn’t happened since.

    I imagine most people don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other. They just want their distro and em to work well.

      Wayland has worked better than X.org in my experience.

      I tried i3 with Compton and Picom - both compositors for X.org - and it had major rendering issues, both on AMD (weird lagging) and NVIDIA (colour issues). Meanwhile I tried Hyprland on a spare PC and it provides a great tiled WM with both form and function. If anything’ll get me on a tiled WM, it’ll be Hyprland now. I’m also looking forward to Wayfire. We need a spiritual successor to Compiz.

        I’m glad to hear it. I am ready to start using it. The architecture is so much more modern and secure. I’m assuming(hoping) Cosmic will be on Wayland when it’s launched.

          I presume so, but there might be an X.org version because of NVIDIA, who still seems to be problematic with Wayland when using their drivers.
