Do you use xorg or wayland? (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I was wondering how many wayland users are here, and what is your gpu? Why not the other?

I for one use xorg, because of my ye olden nvidia gpu that does not mesh too well with wayland.

RTX 3090 and xorg, because if its not broken don't fix it. I need to have something I can actually rely on working 100% of the time (or at least be broken in expected ways) and from what I read wayland isn't all that great with Nvidia GPUs.

Yeah, I have the same issues with Wayland personally, and all my builds are Intel/Nvidia.

I really want Wayland to work but it literally just doesn't. Every once and a while I'll log into it as my DE just to see if anything has been fixed or if it's gotten worse. Usually it doesn't detect my external monitor, which is a pretty big issue. Hoping the push KDE is doing in February for updating Plasma's Wayland systems comes out relatively bug-free and solves most of my problems.
