> Fuck proprietary drivers though, and fuck Nvidia. I'd normally agree, but it's far easier for me to pick and choose software than hardware, and Nvidia makes the best GPUs by a huge margin (particularly if you care about power efficiency). Not to mention the issue of CUDA, which HPC and ML applications rely on pretty much exclusively and for which there's no support in open source drivers AFAIK. As for the reasons to switch, I acknowledge your list as objective advantages. Unfortunately, I happen to be among the people who don't care for high DPI (1440p is more than enough for me), touchscreens (leave those to phones) or touchpads (TrackPoint forever), so I guess I'll be sticking to X11 for the foreseeable future. A guarantee against screen tearing is nice, but I've rarely seen it on the setups I run (admittedly, mostly on high end hardware), whereas low input lag, stability and driver support are things I am loathe to forgo.
