    • It cannot handle multi monitors well

    • you cannot have desktop animations and do anything graphically intensive

    • Xorg screen sharing sucks… It just does. I know I’m gonna get shit on for this, but pipewire screensharing is way better when it works.

    • No variable refresh rate support

    Yes it does: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate

    • No plans for HDR support

    Wayland still hasn’t merged base color support after 4 years and we’re still relying on either gamescope (which also runs on x11) or KDE/GNOME experimental

    • No 1:1 touchpad gestures (elementary os not included)

    This is the only valid concern on this shit tier comment.

    Half of these issues used to be common to Wayland, and the other half have nothing to do with display drivers.

    Most of the wayland devs are x11 devs, they aren’t stupid and do have real reasons for using wayland, but these aren’t those.
