If not on Wayland, what's stopping you?

NVIDIA :(

X because when I try selecting Wayland from sddm the screen goes black and then takes me back to sddm. I'm on manjaro and I've done no configuration and I've not attempted to install Wayland I just assume because it's an option in my drop down that it's been installed.

X, because honestly my screen works and don't currently need to replace the server behind it.

X still. I've tested and found an additional 16ms latency on Wayland, and it's really annoying trying to do OBS Window Capture as I have to re-grant the sandbox permissions for each window every time I use it.

Wayland, I like the smooth scrolling, the touchpad gestures, and the not being unmaintained / unmaintainable aspect.

I use Wayland and love it, but have two serious issues:

1. Sunshine does not show a mouse cursor without a hack that kills performance.
2. Have to disable asyc reprojection in order to use VR.
   Bonus less serious issue: I can't re-dock floating toolbars on X applications when using XWayland.

Been on Wayland for a few years. It’s not always been sunshine and roses, but neither has X.

I still remember being really annoyed everytime I had to edit Xorg.conf files and finding my desktop to no longer boot or mouse to no longer work.

I’m on X atm. Wayland works, but it stops some configs from working properly. For example I have endeavour set up to not only notify me of updates, but I can click on the icon in the tray and it will start the update on X, where on Wayland the tray icon doesn’t show so I have to manually update my system. I like the simplistic click and go the tray icon offers me. This is just one feature I run into problems with. I don’t run NVIDIA so I don’t have the compatibility issue with that.

I'm on Wayland on all computers. The main pain point I have with Wayland at this moment is the lack of session save/restore (remembering which windows were open and saving their state on logout, and restoring all on login).

Wayland, nvidia is the only reason not to use it these days as far as i'm concerned.

Wayland, because I'm late enough to the party that I started with it and haven't really had any issues.

Wayland!
It has advanced a lot lately, I've been daily driving it for months now with no issues, compared to a couple of Plasma versions ago where it would break itself in 5 minutes lol.
Only thing I'm missing is a good remote access solution. I'm currently making do with Sunshine + Moonlight but it has the very annoying bug of not showing the mouse cursor.

Edit: lol just realized this post is 1 month old. Really looking forward to Lemmy fixing this bug.

For me personally on an AMD GPU, Wayland seems feature-complete. In terms of bugs though Wayland can be a pain. My primary monitor always seems to lock up either entirely or in parts. Like I can use the taskbar but a game becomes unresponsive, or vise versa. Literally as I typed this, my taskbar locked up and I can't select anything so I will have to reboot lol.

Another annoying thing about KDE under both X and Wayland (though it happens in Wayland far more) is when the taskbar and title bar icons default to the display server logo. I hate that. Probably on the app developers though.

GNOME under Wayland is a different story, I ran that for a year and outside of some external monitor funkiness everything just seemed bug free. Might switch back once GNOME gets VRR support, we'll see how Plasma 6 is.

I keep trying Wayland and it works so well until it suddenly don’t.

Just two weeks ago I tried again and used it fulltime for a few days. In 90% of cases it’s better than X, but when something goes wrong 10% then it’s too much.

Essentially I had mad flickering in various games and random black screens for a few seconds every now and then in FFXIV.

When I used Wayland my laptop couldn't turn on properly after sleeping. I think it's related to the fact that sddm (at least in standard repos) is xorg at the moment.

Wayland. Only thing currently bothering me about it is the login screen uses x and my cursor size on x isn't scaling right so only on login I have a huge cursor size. Barely enough of an issue for me to go in and correct it

Wayland, I've tried X but it just seems so much slower

I'm on Wayland on my laptop, which is AMD (I specifically went all AMD because NVidia is just kind of a pain in the ass on Linux I've found) and that works perfectly, it's been my daily driver for probably about a year and I tend to forget I'm even running it unless it comes up, such as talking about it now.

My desktop is Nvidia and that thing will crash if you even say the word Wayland within about 10 feet of it so that one's still rocking X11 for now.

X for me.

I tried Wayland a few times over the years but it was always too buggy and many applications just didn't work.

A couple of updates later, Wayland completely stopped working, all I get is a black screen and a cursor.

I'm using X because on Wayland windows sometimes disappear from view. I can't even blame Nvidia because I'm all Intel.

I use wayland on my laptop running GNOME, and I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. I recognize that people's hardware is a big deciding factor on if it works this well or not though...

X11 because what we really needed was X12 but instead we threw the baby out with the bath water.
