From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

X11 because Discord is unusable for me on Wayland, and I use it every day.
Edit: I recently switched to a 7800 XT (was using a 3080), and the discord problem was either solved since the last time I tried it, or not being on nvidia helps - no more weird input lag etc. in discord, so I've moved over to Wayland finally.
X11 because my current setup on Wayland crashes constantly, otherwise always Wayland.
X11 for xdotool. ydotool doesn't support (& can't really support with it's current architecture) retrieving information like the current mouse location, current window, window dimensions & titles. Also, normal (unprivileged) user ydotool use requires udev rules or session scripts and/or running a ydotool daemon & many distros don't yet ship with this Just Working.
X11 for Alt-F2 r to restart Gnome Shell without ending the whole session. This is a useful workaround for a variety of Gnome bugs.
Wayland, works better with games. Unless it's star citizen, then x11 because it somehow breaks the elevators
x11 cuz xfce also .. i want a just working system^^
I use xpra which lets me run persistent seamless windows from my VMs and remote servers. It would probably work okay with xwayland but i might as well keep using X. I understand why people use Wayland though and would recommend it to newcomers.
Currently on Wayland with AMD. Only issue is I cannot Steam remote play without relogging into X11, but that is a very infrequent occasion.
Everything else (mostly gaming) works very well for me.
FWIW remote play is fine on GNOME here.
KDE here and definitely was not fine last I tried. I'll keep messing with it though out of curiosity.
You can use the pipewire capture to do the remote play on wayland session.
Doesn't Wayland only work with Amd Gpus?
I use wayland with my 1060 gtx on kde plasma and it works perfectly
Wayland. It's super smooth and supports new display features.
Everything works, but I don't really use global keyboard shortcuts.
Whichever works best for you. I would recommend Wayland to anyone, but if you run into any problems with it (either bugs with your compositor or protocol limitations), then just use X11.
