Not only is Wayland incredibly more secure than X11 can ever be, and definitely isn’t, Wayland is straight up more smooth and faster, and has many more features. Maybe not all of those features are visible to you for your workload, but for example stuff like HDR are going to make a huge difference between old X11 and Wayland.
Literally every other OS has been doing things the Wayland way for quite a long time now. It’s just on *nix that we have to deal with so many people’s bullshit and mental fear of change.
stupid old man rant:
spoiler
KDE making random features only available on wayland for no reason like trackpad gestures because memes
GNOME being GNOME which is being useless anyway
And literally everyone else is still using X11 by default, unless you count the 20 random github compositors that no one uses.
I would switch to wayland if it had any actual immediate benefit, especially in performance, but as far as I have tested it doesn’t.
Will probably join it in 2030 when the xfce devs wake up from their eternal slumber and make an update for it
Used Wayland, tried Hyprland. Was cool, somewhat buggy.
Switched to XMonad. No more issues.
Wayland is probably the future, but I just want something that works now.
Unless you’re using that piece of shit Nvidia
