#wayland_vs_x11 — Public Fediverse posts

Found this blog article "Wayland Isn't Going to Save The Linux Desktop" that talk -as the title said- about #wayland
https://dudemanguy.github.io/blog/posts/2022-06-10-wayland-xorg/wayland-xorg.html

It has been written in 2022. Since the article has been written, may be things have evolved, or not, I don't know.

I'm still using #X11 and I fundamentally have nothing against Wayland.
I continue to use X11 for basics reasons:

1. It works perfectly with my NVidia GC, my drawing tablet and let me manage monitor calibration profiles
2. Last time I tried Wayland, then I had too much weird things (artifacts on screen, weird mouse cursors, ...) - it seems related to my NVidia drivers but I didn't dig more, I've just switched to a solution that works for me (then, X11)

Note, the day my desktop environment will work properly on Wayland (so including my NVidia drivers, my drawing tablet, all application I use, color profiles, ...) I'll happily switch to Wayland.

Unfortunately, if what I read in this article is still valid, I probably won't be able to switch in 2024, neither in 2025 :ablobcatknitsweats:

Bjørn works on a first class citizen visual impairment friendly interface to the Durden DE on Arcan display server. (A proper solution that makes Wayland obsolete.)
