wlroots performed very poorly on my i5-3427U with 4000 series iGPU. Very poorly. I ended up using neither X nor Wayland and instead having mpv render straight to the frame buffer (--vo=gpu --gpu-context=drm)
- emersion 6y agoI'm a wlroots developer, and I'm using an old Sandybridge mobile i5 CPU daily. So I'm pretty surprised about this. I'd be interested in a bug report if you were to try again.
- swiley 6y agoI'll agree with this post. Wayland is not pleasant on my core i5 machine either. I should point out that the GPU it has is very weak, I don't know what it is but most 3d games are unplayable. X.org, Firefox, and Xterm all work very well on it though. As do other apps like gschem and openscad.
- emersion 6y ago"Wayland" is just the protocol, can you give more details about your setup? For instance, GNOME is more heavyweight than say Sway (and gives a more feature-ful and eye-candy user experience in return).
