I play competitive multiplayer games with VRR on a 4k240 monitor in a tiling wm with direct scanout. Color management support (HDR, 10bit, anything beyond 8bit sRGB) is also coming along. I've never had a better working setup than this. Everything on X was painful. Even just getting vsync to work properly used to be tricky in some cases. I agree that wayland does miss features compared to X but a lot of them are conscious design decisions and don't affect me personally. For example running graphical applications remotely through e.g. SSH or the complete lack of security allowing any application to easily read my keyboard input. permalink fedilink source parent [β] ftbd@feddit.org 19 points 9 months ago (1 child) Xorg never worked quite right for me with multiple displays of different resolutions, orientations and refresh rates. Even after extensive setup, I would get screen tearing effects all the time. In wayland, everything just works OOTB for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] BunScientist@lemmy.zip 1 point 9 months ago (1 child) I set TearFree in the mesa driver settings (not sure if it's amd only?) so there's no tearing even without vsync, I have a small 50hz display and a 1080p 120hz without issues permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago According to the X11 devs, it's all a pile of hacks to shoehorn in features like this. Some things would have never been properly possible with it. So why it might work for you, it'll never work for everyone. permalink fedilink source parent [β] RaccoonBall@lemmy.ca 16 points 9 months ago if variable high refresh rate on my game monitor while discord and YouTube run at 60hz on the other wrecks playability, then definitely I'm not one of those people who loves tearing though, so its good enough for me permalink fedilink source parent [β] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) It actually does wreck the playability of games for me by disabling the ctrl and shift key. A known issue no one has bothered to look into. I cant complain tho, theyre working their butts off for free permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 point 9 months ago As someone else said: Linux Mint is late to the Wayland party, use a more robust DE when you want to talk about what βWaylandβ can and can't do. permalink fedilink source parent
