Started using wayland a year ago with sway. A was a bit frightened at first, but in the end everything worked. From firefox, to steam and their games.
The only "drawback" was that when I launched windows (ex: wireshark) at root, it didn't work and I had to previously allow "root" to open windows on my login (with xhost). Thought it was quite neat

- Avamander 3y agoWayland seems to be slightly more performant but Firefox, Steam and games are the worst example. Steam doesn't seem to scale properly. Firefox struggles with native Wayland, especially if you also want GPU acceleration (same with Chromium though). Games are a mixed bag. A pure X environment didn't have these issues in my experience (but it obviously has others).
