Odd, I use Arch (well, EndeavourOS) with Sway and have experienced no problems. Quite on the contrary, my setup with a high-DPI laptop + external monitors is far nicer with Wayland than with X.
- dinkleberg 3y agoTbh I think a big part of my woes came from my Nvidia card.
- jsrjenkins 3y agoHow is it nicer with Wayland? I have a high-DPI laptop and it works great with X11. What would I gain with Wayland?
- dinkleberg 3y agoScreen tearing is the big pain of X11 in my experience. Most things work fine, but watching videos or playing games is a terrible experience when dealing with constant screen tears. I tried a bunch of different configs and was able to minimize them significantly, but they were still there.
- bradrn 3y agoWhat you gain is that programs render at the native resolution of both displays. In terms of appearance, it looks noticeably clearer, since no downsampling or upsampling necessary. But the nicest thing is that it just works — I don’t need to configure any settings to prevent windows from being displayed unreadably small or gigantically large.
