Ive been using wayland and sway for about 2 weeks now. My experience is this. If it's compiled to run for Wayland. Fan f-in tastic. No hiccups, no random screen tears or visual glitches of any kind. My logs are surprisingly sparse and when there is a configuration issue it's something trivial i overlooked and easily fixed. Now here is the issue. When it comes to X-Wayland. Well lets just say that my opinion of X-wayland can be boiled down to two major criticisms. 1. It's turning into another X11. I've been trying to get apps that should just work out of the box when running on gtk like Google Chrome. And frankly looking at the bug reports and hack ass solutions to get things like Video Hardware Acceleration to function using X-Wayland... Nightmarish to say the least and glad it's not my job. 2. I think history has shown time and time again with debacles like Apple trying to retain backwards capability for powerpc MacOS or Windows ensuring your archaic MS-DOS application at work doesn't end up need an expensive update.... that any time you try to not throw things away that need to be thrown away, regardless of how sentimental they might be, you always end up a dead hoarder buried somewhere in your house where nobody can find you but they can sure as hell smell you; so they know you are in there somewhere... Where ever the hell that may be. My attitude when it come's to the critics of Wayland is to say build something better or shut up and just not use it and keep letting X11 make the desktop experience on Linux suck on two fronts. The first where nobody who is working on it actually knows how the entire thing works except maybe a handful of people. (all of whom are btw wayland core developers). And the second, where things just don't work like they should out of the box on whichever desktop environment circumstance you may be in. When you have such a complicated API you end up with 50 million different ways 50 million different developers can write bugs into the 50 millionth reimplementation of your system. There is a reason why Unix was the most ripped off and successful operating system in the world. It's not because it had X11...
