I switch to wayland to play steam games because there is less screen tearing than with X11. Otherwise, I'm still on xorg because I find little annoyances in the alternatives to my X11 window manager of choice (dwm) and other little things that don't work well, like the Zoom desktop app being kind of wonky in sway.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoIf you want to avoid having switch back and forth, you might try running things inside a wayland compositor under X11; for example, when I want to run waydroid I just run it in cage[0] in a window in my usual environment.
