Wayland is just more responsive and smoother than x11 in all cases I've tried short of really old hardware. Nvidia just haven't caught up to Wayland yet and it makes complex things like rendering a vulkan pipeline through an x11 compatibility layer buggy on Nvidia.

I'm hoping the day they finish porting wine to Wayland it'll fix all the issues I'm having with Nvidia. Or the open source driver getting good enough for me to drop the proprietary driver.

My experience XWayland apps can get a little weird on Nvidia for some reason. I've witnessed flickering ui, misplaced drop shadows, and the xorg cursor popping up at the very edge of XWayland windows. On AMD Wayland just works and at least in games AMD shows an improvement while Nvidia shows a decrease in performance.

Probably not. The majority of users use chrome or whatever their os comes with. There are edge cases but it would be the minority that think about privacy and such.

I'm to lazy to worry about tracking so I install ublock, enable do not track in the settings of Firefox, and call it a day.

My mother asked me to switch her over to Linux about a year ago. Never had an issue since. It wouldn't have been possible without the work wine and steam have done to make playing games on Linux possible.

If you don't play games Wayland, if you do play games xorg. I haven't tested gnome but kde has a screen tearing bug for games on a gsync monitor. I don't like dealing with gnome when I have 20 windows open, sucks overusing the mouse.

Hyperland has been amazing for games since the Nvidia 550 update but there is still minor stutter in some games like gta 5.

(AM radio voice) So you made a deal with the devil and are now stuck playing destiny or a corporate app still dependent on IE6 ActiveX?!

Create a mat that you lay on with parallel copper lines, attach it to a tazer circuit and an audrino. Replace alarm speaker with audrino.

Yeah, I got nothing against other people having different political views but that was the first instance I blocked.

I'm a bit more of a masochist, Archlinux. I am beginning to see the appeal of having something like NixOS though.

I've seen both very passionate tone deaf communities and very inclusive friendly communities. Steer a course and you might find calmer waters.
