I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

    I daily drive Linux Mint, which has only recently just now launched experimental beta Wayland support. I’ve been on X11 this whole time and it’s been surprisingly good.

    I’ll adopt Wayland when Mint does, I’m confident by then it’ll be good and ready.

    I do have a little tablet that runs Fedora Gnome, it runs Wayland. It’s okay, though trying to get the digital pen to work properly is a problem because a lot of the advice out there is written with X in mind. But.

      Depends. Cinnamon Desktop is not a huge project, so yes it may be more stable because of how Mint releases stuff, but also it is not GNOME, KDE, COSMIC, or one of the wayland-only windowmanagers, so it may be less complete.
