Wayland or X11? Why?
(lemmy.world)
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.

Wayland. Touchscreen support and gestures. No scaling issues. Better smoothness.
And don't forget Crash-Resilient Wayland Compositing that keep applications alive even tho the "compositor" crash, so it does restart without any data loss and the lockscreen protocol, because on xorg if the lockscreen crash then you view the desktop and you have the device unlocked!
touchscreen and gestures are managed by libinput/evdev which are independant and works with X11, using it currently on my Yoga C340.
Good point. But I think it would be difficult to configure this bundle within GNOME/KDE. And it's not necessary. Almost everything works fine under Wayland right now.
