It's run that way ever since (over 2 years now) and I've only had to switch back to X once or twice to make certain games work on Steam, or just to stop myself from pulling my hair out with OBS. Other than that, it's mostly unnoticeable. Pretty impressive from my perspective.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoOne thing that is a huge material difference is better handling of multi-DPI support between monitors, and display switching generally. When I flip back over to X (because of Steam, like you say), I notice right away problems. Plug the laptop into the USB-C dock and everything comes up wrong, fonts all wacked, window sizes distorted. Have to log out and log back in to get things to a working state. I just don't think X was really designed well for this world of transient displays.
