[β] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 65 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children) IMO Wayland surpassed X11 a long time ago... As it doesn't shit in the pants with tearing on video play or touchscreens with multi-screen. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Damage@feddit.it 20 points 9 months ago (1 child) Is it perfect? No. But X11 isn't perfect either. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Allero@lemmy.today 17 points 9 months ago (3 children) X11 is heavily outdated and vulnerable, but it features one thing Wayland doesn't: it works with everything. So, if Wayland checks your points, go Wayland. If something breaks - X11 is there to back you up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] Inkstainthebat@pawb.social 25 points 9 months ago (1 child) Not even always true. For me, Wayland is the only thing that runs decently on my Frankenstein monster of a setup, while X11 makes everything run insanely slow. I think everyone should try both at some point permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 9 months ago Interesting permalink fedilink source parent [β] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago When I first got into linux, I was having trouble with sound issues, and my track pad had pointer acceleration and was always the wrong speed. Wayland apparently had a fix for the trackpad settings not taking, so I switched to logging in with Wayland before it was the distro default, and almost all of my problems disappeared instantly. The only real issue I had then was screen sharing, which is fixed now. X11 has only given me problems. I'm sure it was great at one point, but it certainly did not back me up. permalink fedilink source parent [β] deltapi@lemmy.world 1 point 9 months ago Vulnerable? Do you have examples?
