I want to run my 144hz monitor at 120hz so YouTube videos don't stutter when they aren't fullscreen (because VRR would engage) but you cannot set custom refresh rates.
Not a problem on X11 or Windows, impossible on Gayland.

X11 is a protocol that xlibre implements just as much as xorg does.

It's like saying you're not on Wayland and posting the hyprland logo.

I get artifacts on Plasma Wayland (using an nvidia GPU).
But I refuse to use X11 (no HDR).

>custom refresh rates
xrandr once bricked a monitor, was my fault but unexpected, basically you can set a refresh rate above the recommend one and it will apply it, on old monitors it bricks them.

I was against wayland for a while but I'm using dwl (wayland dwm clone) on a 4k TV with 1.8x DPI scaling and everything looks perfect. Even the best DEs would sometimes screw that up in X11.

Wayland is shit.
0. It's kiosk trooned to desktop (so we start from a rot foundation).
1. It's async oop in C with implicit sync (ALL implementations have exploitable LPEs because of this)
2. It increases attack surface (communication is a workaround through dbus+portals+pipewire)
3. It has no security model (even xorg has one)
4. It has no protocol to ensure its "isolation" (which is simply not doing X). So it's trivial to bypass the "isolation".
5. It can suffer a DoS from moving the cursor too fast.
6. It obliterates portability among the same OS. As every compositor is comparable to a different OS.
7. Policy over mechanism.
8. The core protocols are as capable, if not less, as the curses library (reason why everyone is doing their own extensions for bare minimum capabilities).
9. Literally everyone else (windows, mac, plan9, android) has a better display server. In fact, it's hard to find such a demented attempt even among hobby OSes.
10. Mesa is adding workarounds to its code for wayland. So, not satisfied in being shit, it shit on others.
11. It's brings versioning incompatibility problem (one of the reasons for Linux to have so few ports for it) to desktop level.
12. There's no "wayland" (since the raw protocols are useless). So basically you port for kde, gnome or wlroots (a port for one, does not ensure it will work on the others. Additionally, you need to consider portals too. A port for wlroots won't necessarily work on wlroots if it were expecting a specific portal).

For the past two weeks or so, I've had two computers at my desk. One is my normal Arch/Xorg/Xmonad setup, the other is Bazzite/Wayland/KDE going to a friend.

Previously knew nothing about flatpaks. Never used Wayland, or KDE, or any of the wine helper tools. All of it is different to me.

>does not just work if you want to game
That hasn't been my experience. At first I couldn't get a Dualsense controller to work with PCSX2.
But apart from that issue, I didn't have to do any further hardware configuring, troubleshooting, etc. That's messing around with games using Steam, Lutris, and a few emulators.

>>106120875
>use X11 but AMD broke support
What are you talking about? Both of the computers I mentioned above are AMD/AMD.

Explain why this is bad for somebody who wants to record their screen with global hotkeys.

wayland it's not only bad it's literally boycott. it repeats the same problem that held linux ports for so long, versioning. now at software level and at a much worse intensity. has only three possible ends: it dies, linux dies, linux becomes gnome os only.

Wayland is a failed project.
X.org is mature, stable and needs no shilling campaign for adoption. You do the initial setup and then you forget about it.

Any application on wayland can see any other application on wayland as well since every wayland compositor has a private compositor protocol that allow recording the screen without permission. This private protocol has no security.

X11 fixed this over 20 years ago with XACE. Try again retard. X11 got mandatory access control before android did.
