> I keep trying to use Wayland, but it never fully works. Everyone keeps saying how well the highdpi stuff works I use Wayland daily and have for a few years. It’s clearly gotten better, and I rarely encounter problems. I do have my load of applications still running in XWayland though. But yes. Support for varying DPI in my multi-monitor setup is handled much better on Wayland than on X11. I would say much better than on Windows too.

How's the forced v-sync? I assume all games run XWayland, which makes it a non-issue. (Otherwise, it'd presumably be an FPS hit in a world where adaptive sync [like G-SYNC but not really FreeSync since the latter doesn't really work in Linux lol] makes tearing a thing of the past and obviates v-sync entirely.) Also, can you use xdotool for key input redirection or screen capture programs and stuff yet?

  > How's the forced v-sync? Not sure what you're talking about. Haven't noticed any adverse negative effects. It's super nice to have a desktop without any tearing though. > I assume all games run XWayland, which makes it a non-issue. I don't do PC-gaming. > Also, can you use xdotool for key input redirection Not sure what xdotool is. I'm using sway[1] with libinput. I haven't had a need to use external tools beyond what they support natively. > or screen capture programs and stuff yet? I have no issues to do screenshots ad-hoc (in fact, I have keybindings to do this, and throw it right in the wayland clipboard). I do notice that most Xwayland-based programs which tries to do screen-sharing fails spectacularly though. [1] https://github.com/swaywm/sway https://github.com/swaywm/sway
