Gsync doesn't work yet so... Not yet for me.
Also, they need to fix the load apps in last location like X has

I'm on AMD, so I've been on Wayland since around 2021. Haven't really experienced any issues.
I have been for the past month now. All of my games are now working.
Previously no and the reason was bc of Nvidia issues, but they all seem resolved now for the most part
Used it for the last few years. X just doesn't work right with multiple monitors of different resolution.
When VMWare Horizon Client (which I need for work) supports it
KDE Wayland is an epilepsy inducing flickerfest with my Nvidia GPU, so it's off limits until they fix it. Games usually run fine on X11, but one exception I noticed is Noita, it runs like crap on X11, and runs great on Wayland for some reason.
I've been on Sway for a while now. Also have a computer on Plasma (Wayland).
(Intel iGPU, AMD APU, and AMD graphics card)
I was using it on a new work machine, it was fine.
The main issue is all the good tiling wms are X11 based and I don't really want to use a wayland version of i3. I want some dynamic tiling goodies.
You're looking for Hyprland!
I’ve been using it ever since Ubuntu switched over. No major issues, though I have to launch Calibre (the ebook manager) via the command line with a special environment variable because the developer is anti-Wayland. I’m looking for alternatives.
I use it with gnome on nixos without any problems AFAICT. Had the explicit sync issue with Nvidia initially but I ended up buying an rx6800 to use as the host GPU when I set up win11 with KVM. Been completely fine since.
I had it on a test system and Chrome/Chromium wasn't happy. Slow af. Dunno if it had an impact on Firefox, but that used a lot of RAM and was very slow when sharing the screen.
At least Waydroid worked flawlessly 👍
For now, I'm back on X11 where I game. I'll just wait for it come by default on major distros ("stable"), wait a little longer (stable for real) and then switch once nothing on my system needs "XWayland" or whatever. wine
does AFAIK, so at least due to that, no Wayland for me.
Chromium and Firefox work perfectly on Wayland. Minor issues like de-coupling tabs or something are made a bit differently, but thats cosmetic.
I'll switch to wayland when it runs better than X. And that isn't the case for now.
I will daily drive Wayland when it becomes Xorg function equivalent e.g. functional screen capture and overlays like every other OS (so never)
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.
