> Wayland support is getting really good these days
Depends on your needs and hardware. I have an Nvidia desktop and Intel Laptop both running Arch + GNOME 40. Intel is definitely less buggy, but I still find myself switching back to X11. For example, when I needed screen sharing for work video conferencing, it only works under X11(PipeWire support was buggy at the time). Wayland/GNOME also still have issues with mouse lag with high CPU.
It's getting better every day, but still rough around the edges.
- CraftThatBlock 5y agoHave you tried PipeWire recently? Seems like there's a lot of recent development, and that screensharing now works under Wayland with newer versions. I'm still on Xorg myself, but planning on switching to Wayland later this year once XWayland support is merged (also using NVIDIA card) Edit: I've switched to PipeWire for Xorg with pipewire-pulse with zero issues so far.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoIf he's on Arch I'm sure he has a pretty recent pipewire install.
- CraftThatBlock 5y agoI'm also on Arch, but I mean the newer 0.3.x releases, as development has been pretty quick. I believe things have changed in past few months
