minus-squareTornadoRexlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 年前As someone who dabbles in Linux but is ultimately a regular people, what’s the advantage of this?
minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up26·1 年前A unified, bug-free, performant and featureful display stack to ensure people can use things like Variable refresh rate, which, iirc, is an impossibility on X11.
minus-squareTornadoRexlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 年前That’s pretty awesome. I imagine this would be a huge advantage with the growth of Linux gaming too
minus-squareBogasse@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 年前I suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍
minus-squarevisor841@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前The games on Steam Deck are already running in Wayland using gamescope IIRC
minus-squareCraigeryTheKid@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Wait, what? I’m on PopOS, with Nvidia GPU, and my “g-sync” VRR works fine.
