The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant

lemmy.ndlug.org/post/143136

lemmy.ndlug.orgThe technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant - NDLUGIn response to Wayland Breaks Your Bad Software [https://orowith2os.gitlab.io/posts/wayland-breaks-your-bad-software/] > I say that the technical merits are irrelevant because I don’t believe that they’re a major factor any more in most people moving or not moving to Wayland. > With only a slight amount of generalization, none of these people will be moved by Wayland’s technical merits. The energetic people who could be persuaded by technical merits to go through switching desktop environments or in some cases replacing hardware (or accepting limited features) have mostly moved to Wayland already. The people who remain on X are there either because they don’t want to rebuild their desktop environment, they don’t want to do without features and performance they currently have, or their Linux distribution doesn’t think their desktop should switch to Wayland yet.

Only reason I’m not using it is Nvidia. Missing night light in particular.

Don’t buy Nvidia GPUs. NVidia’s broken Linux support is a well-known fact since at least a decade.

For gaming AMD is as good as NVIDIA or even better. For anything else tho it’s a dumpster fire. Amf still isn’t on par with nvenc, rocm is pure garbage and they are basically useless for any compute task

Those specific compute tasks are not “anything else”. Pretty much every single everyday task by common people works better on GPUs with proper Mesa drivers than GeForce and there is absolutely no reason that you need to output your graphics from the NVidia GPU anyway. Do your compute tasks on dedicated Nvidia hardware if you have to. Even notebooks come with AMD and Intel iGPUs that are perfectly fine for non-gaming graphics output.
