Yes, I made it using a laptop’s trackpad, how could you tell?

[Image description: Panel 1: Young man confidently walking, his vest bears the Wayland logo. Behind him is a grunt with the Gnome logo on his face holding a katana. The young man says: “It’s high time you retire, old man!” Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: “It’s still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!” ]

    X11 is stuttery

    Not for me

    unsecure

    Source?

    unmaintaned

    Received a number of commits just last week: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg

    can’t really be updated for new features that are pretty important in 2024 (VRR, HDR).

    VRR is supported, at least on AMD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate

    For HDR you have a point, afaik.

    Wayland gets so many more of the basics so much better than X11 it’s not even funny anymore.

    And yet X11 works rock solid for me, while Wayland still crashes whenever I so much as look at it wrong. The amount of time and work I’ve lost because of Wayland crapping out on me isn’t even funny anymore. On AMD by the way, so no blaming Nvidia’s crappy Linux support.

    Wayland will probably be the better product one day, but this day is not that day, at least not for every use-case. Great that it works fantastically for you, I genuinely advise you to keep using it, but keep in mind that ‘mileage may vary’ from person to person. Personally for now I’ll stick to X11, as I need to get work done and unfortunately don’t have time to muck around with Wayland’s antics.
