      Even that is a myth nowadays. Wayland is still hit and miss, but with x11, it’s as good as Intel or AMD.

      And, if the guys at System76 keep their promises (and historically, they have), with the release of COSMIC, even that will be fixed for good :)

          According to what they say, they’re writing this DE with Wayland and Nvidia’s Wayland compatibility in mind.

          So far, they’ve always been trustworthy, so, I’m inclined to believe their statements.

          May I ask why? At the moment, there’s no real reason which applies to most users for which one should use Wayland rather than x11.

          Most distros came up with solutions to the obvious ones (think of PopOS for gestures in Gnome x11).

          Most people want to use Wayland because it’s the new shiny toy, but they haven’t actually got a practical reason for it.

          And don’t get me wrong, I’ll be the first one to move to Wayland when it becomes fully viable across the board without IFs, but we’re not there yet, and x11, despite being on life support does everything most people might need from it (save from some edge case with multiple monitors with different resolutions and aspect ratios, with different refresh rates).

      I don’t use NVIDIA because of its appalling treatment of the Linux community. Even Microsoft is friendlier to us.
