Ubuntu is shipping Wayland by default now.
I vastly prefer Wayland on every machine I've used both X and Wayland on (and on laptops, it's frankly hard to describe how much better it is).
Basically - Wayland isn't the future, Wayland is the NOW.
If you want a great touchpad experience on linux?
- Wayland
If you want multi-touch and gesture support out of the box?
- Wayland
If you want multi-monitor support and mixed scaling?
- Wayland
If you don't want to have to edit multiple conf files on every new install?
- Wayland
If you want your windows to resize and actually respect the scaling of the current display, instead of the one they opened on?
- Wayland
Honestly, it does exactly what I want my display server to do, and then mostly gets out of the way.
My last real sticking point was screen sharing, and I can get that fine with Pipewire and chrome at this point.
I don't open sessions in x anymore.
- ravenstine 6y agoDoesn't Ubuntu use Mir, not Wayland?
- tbr1 6y agoMir is a Wayland compositor. It may not have started off as one, but is today.
