Wayland pros and cons?
(iusearchlinux.fyi)
Hey guys, what are the pros and cons to wayland if I intend to use my PC for gaming + others?
Comparisons to X?
General impressions?
Your advice on if I should use it or stick with X?
My PC parts are arriving soon, and while Ive been a linux user since 2016 its the first time I intend to fully main drive linux, so I guess im just looking for as much information as I can get on it.
Feel free to post links to articles or anything that will answer if you prefer, we're on a link aggregator after all ;) and I dont mind reading.
Thanks in advance :)
Honestly, depends on you GPU and the game. Nvidia has been quite reluctant with their Wayland support for a while, while AMD is often pretty even. Here are some benchmarks from early 2023. However, recently there were some improvements for XWayland which may improve performance significantly (there was a post on Lemmy just today or yesterday).
If you use a distro/DE that install both by default (like Ubuntu) I'd recommend to just test it and then decide for your case.
distro: just look at my instance xD
Its a full AMD build, so I shouldnt have any issues with the green goblin
I’ve had great experience with AMD GPUs on Wayland. Unless you run into specific issues, I don’t see a downside of running Wayland. With NVIDIA, chances are you will run into issues very quickly, unfortunately…
