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.

    Since I mostly run Debian with KDE, I’ve been using it a lot since KWin is on its stable repo.

    First time I really use it is on Gentoo, which exclusively runs Plasma. Since it’s rolling-release, it didn’t take too long to be available.

    I’ve been moving this build from one computer to another, they all work fine. Currently it’s on a Thinkpad W530. Got some problems with multi-monitor that never happen under X11. Thankfully after I replace the firmware with coreboot, and opted for dGPU only, I never encountered any issue.

    Currently, what keeps me from fully ditching X11 on KDE is the buggy SDDM support.

    On the other hand, I’ve been using Linux Mint on my work PC. As you may have known, neither Cinnamon and XFCE has it at the moment.
