Regarding screen tearing and trackpad issues, these are largely gone. Wayland has more or less solved the screen tearing issue and I have yet to encounter a poor trackpad experience using a modern machine, in my case an XPS 15 9570.
- chme 5y agoWayland is great, however it also makes screen recording more difficult.
- andrewnicolalde 5y agoTrue. For "wl-roots"-based compositors like swaywm, check out wf-recorder[1]. [1]https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder
- chme 5y agoI know about those solutions, and it works for me on sway in general. But is was not a simple out-of-the-box experience you have with X11. And there are still multiple issues: For instance with X11 you can select a specific window. I have not found a way to do this in with a wayland compositor yet.
- abyssin 5y agoScreen tearing isn’t gone, unfortunately. Watching videos on my Linux machine is a pain. I use a Lenovo T460s and I’ve spent too much time looking for a solution (more then an hour). I like the freedom of a Linux OS (i3m is cool) but it looks so bad compared to MacOS.
- tssva 5y agoNeither of these issues have been resolved by Wayland on my modern Thinkpad 490. There is still awful screen tearing when watching videos and trackpad multitouch gesture support is still a mess on Linux. Gnome 40 added some gestures for navigating the desktop but beyond that the situation is horrible.
