This is about X vs Wayland, not Windows vs Linux.

  It's about the GPU used in regular laptops, I'd imagine, for which Windows has drivers and support, and Linux does not. That's my point. X11 for those laptops works more reliably, but even then there's immense screen tearing, blurry texts, broken fractional scaling, etc. I just don't know why I would ever use software of this quality when even Windows XP had less issues like this in its hayday, and it released 20 years ago.

    The large majority of laptops use Intel or AMD APU's, both of which work fabulously. Gaming laptops using NVidia chips aren't regular laptops.

    If you mean NVIDIA, then they haven't played nicely with the kernel or X11 either. Distros that "work" have to pin and lock your X11 and kernels to get the magic combination. Nvidia has been terrible for a while, and this is not Wayland specific. My Intel and AMD laptops have worked great. My SteamDeck is awesome.
