What’s the difference for a real user between using X11 or Wayland nowdays? I haven’t found anything useful on the internet, so I’m asking you. Internet articles on the topic (and about WMs too) seem to be advertising slop since they explain anything but the real things. Also, if anyone used the XLibre fork, I would love to hear about your experience with it.
As an average user, I notice input issues, multi-monitor issues and incorrect animations in Wayland. X11 just works fine. But somehow pointing out problems with Wayland always gets you downvoted because it’s “newer and more secure”.
Multi-monitor issues surprises me, considering multi-monitor support is kind of a sellingpoint for wayland. I don’t think animations being incorrect has anything to do with wayland itself though, it’s up to the individual compositors to handle that.
Specifically, it’s windows opening in the wrong screen. In some full-screen Wine games it means games crash when you move them.
And for animations, if I use touchpad 3-finger touch to switch desktops, the animation is reversed.
That’s not the reason why he got downvotes. In fact, he didn’t even mention what problems Wayland has. Contrary to him, I even posted a huge link with massive listings why Wayland sucks. I also pointed out 2 problems in my comment he is replying to.
