Any reason why Xorg and not Wayland?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I run xorg on my desktops (especially my video transfer/editing workstation) and sway on my laptop. Wayland still has some seemingly intractable bugs and annoyances, if it even supports what you are trying to accomplish. I run it in hopes of helping it improve, but it's far from mature.

Xorg is compatible with Actiona

I know that's not a huge reason for most people but I have a lot of automations that run through it

picom doesnt support wayland and as I far as I know qtile doesnt have any compositor effects

They are a WIP

Probably because QTile.

I don't know if QTile has Wayland support, so my apologies if that's wrong.

Qtile has among the best Wayland support out there. It is kinda difficult to install the Wayland version, however.
