Finally
Cool!
Waiting for explicit sync support from nvidia but even then, I doubt I’ll switch until I can enable tearing. I’m sensitive to input latency and playing on wayland feels like my aim is floating
Only because it doesn’t ask me to recompile the source every time a kernel update comes in.
I tried switching to Wayland on Mint, it did not go well. Unfortunately I do not care to follow an hour long guide to figure out how to get it to run games properly.
Mint Wayland support is experimental and was released in Mint 21.3 ~3 months ago
The Wayland session isn’t as stable as the default (X11) one. It lacks features and it comes with its own limitations.
It was added as a preview for people interested in Wayland and as an easy way for them to test if they want to give us feedback.
A board was set up to keep track of Wayland development. It’s available at https://trello.com/b/HHs01Pab/cinnamon-wayland.
A dedicated Github repository was created for issues related to Wayland, whether they need fixing in Cinnamon, in an XApp project, a Mint tool or anything software project we maintain: https://github.com/linuxmint/wayland.
In terms of timing Wayland support doesn’t need to be fully ready (i.e. to be a better Cinnamon option for most people) before 2026 (Mint 23.x). That leaves us 2 years to identify and to fix all the issues. It’s something we’ll continue to work on and improve release after release.
I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.
Out of curiosity, what GPU do you have?
Intel UHD graphics.

So not skewed at all…
Do you have a better way of measuring it?
In what direction would voluntary self-reporting of all system specs skew the display server statistic (and why)?Its a pretty good survey and has a good sample size. Statistics is hard. I won’t take the criticism too seriously.
Why would it be skewed? What would be the cause for a subset of linux users, that upload hardware probes with extraneous information about their display server, to skew the extraneous data?

Because a huge portion of the people willing to do this are already on Wayland, but I believe there exists an even larger percentage on X that are not submitting any data.
And another commenter said:
We’re just left to do armchair psychology about the type of people who would submit data to this site. So the numbers are effectively useless.

What is the basis for that assumption?

So because one cannot know which type of people submit data to the site it should be disregarded? That’s basically saying any poll or questionnaire with anonymous yet unique answers are invalid. That’s a pretty bad argument.
Anonymous polls are indeed useless for several reasons.
I just set up xmonad because I was in the mood for change. Took about a week of tinkering a bit each day and I really like it. Afterwards, I was still in the mood for configs and looked at Wayland. There isn’t much progress on Wayland xmonad, so guess that has to wait.
That’s a common problem I’ve been hearing for almost 10 now - the software support isn’t quite there yet.
Anyone who needs accessibility is screwed as Wayland takes over. Let’s hope we can still choose for another say 40 years. Then, I’ll be done, and Wayland can rule. Pity those who will still need accessibility options though.
These days the unique use case X was designed for is very, very niche. For everyone else, Wayland is the way to go.
Way to go Wayland
Is this because of me?
As someone who switched to wayland way back when sway was dominant…? About time.
X11 has been mostly solid for me. Wonder if Wayland would be worth messing with.
To temper your expectations you’ll likely have some problems. But you’ll have the ability in future to make use of new display technologies, like VRR and HDR
I’m sure Nvidia will become stable on wayland by the time xfce also migrates lol
NVIDIA is likely to be stable on Wayland next month. If you wait for other people to ship you code, it will arrive with the fall releases ( eg. Ubuntu 24.10 ).
Xfce is targeting 4.20 for full Wayland support. If you use Xfce 4.20 on kernel 6.9, you may break the Internet.
He said the numbers.
