    Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg? (lemmy.world)

    I use xfce, I have nvidia card, I sometimes capture a video of my screen and I regularly share my screen. Didn't even try.

    I'll use Xorg until its deprecated or Wayland offers me some benefit other than "is new and shiny and the internet told me is cool"

    I also became a bit sceptical about it with so many open source projects and basic functionality not supporting it yet after sooo many years of "Wayland is here"... so yeah, I'll wait until someone gets xorg from my dead cold hands ๐Ÿ˜

    also I don't get how aggressive people get about what other people have in their desktop, dude let me live my linux life alone ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Wayland has both screen capture and screen sharing.
    We have XWaylandVideoBridge for X11 only applications.

    Fair enough. I used XFCE for 15 years and decided to give Hyprland a go. Still some rough edges, and some shockingly basic things are still being figured out (should multiple windows from the same process be able to set different icons, and windows being able to set--or even hint--where they want to go), but overall I've had basically zero issues, and I'm enjoying it enough that I made the change permanent. Screen share and streaming work fine. I wouldn't call the overall functionality mature, but it's perfectly workable. Unless, you know...Nvidia. I've heard it's gotten a bit better lately, but I wouldn't have switched if I hadn't gone AMD for my new GPU.
