    I tried Wayland for the first time last week and my first reaction was “wtf this is so smooth”. But some stuff was too funky so I went back to X11.

    I’ve recently go back to Linux (after >10 years), and so far I’ve only noticed that touchscreen works better on Wayland and that you can scale UI in smaller increments. Otherwise they behave pretty much the same.

    At first I though this was just a regular shitpost but then I saw the screen tear edit lol

    On a more serious note, is there a way to actually fix screen tearing under x11? I’ve always thought a compositing manager like xcompmgr would do it, but for me it only makes it worse?

    My laptop refuses to go beyond 30hz on 5120*1440, so Wayland and X11 both feel laggy. But at least X11 is stable, can’t say the same for Wayland, no matter how much I want to like it.
