People like x11 because Nvidia hasn’t fucked up support for it, and people like Wayland because it is the newer protocol that everything is gonna move to.
X.org isn’t abandoned, stop spreading FUD. It’s maintained in a feature freeze state fixing bugs and security issues. Guess who does that? The same people who made Wayland.
Wayland provides a simplified, streamlined pipeline for graphics. Lower latency, higher frame rates, less overhead. X is straight out of the late 80s and 90s. Modern X has been cobbled together to work surprisingly well. But that old architecture is what is holding it back today.
I really want to like Wayland since it seems to be the future, but I can’t when my computer keeps crashing from just using it.
I’m still new to learning the difference between Wayland and x11. What are some of the features people like between the two of them?
