    Don’t bother choosing. Use whatever the distro gives you until you actually have a reason to switch

      I use arch btw. My distro doesn’t give me anything. I was on x11. Wanted to experiment a bit and now I’m configuring hyprland. Going well for me so far

    X11 for X11Forwarding over SSH.

    Wayland because I want something actively maintained and progressive.

      I don’t think that’s a feature many people actually needed, something like accessability is peobably a better argument but I agree with the fundamental statment

        Agree, network transparency is a super power user feature.

        And frankly VNC is good enough.

        I just found it sad that a really powerful feature was dismissed as “no-one actually wants this” (yes I do) and “just use VNC” (I shouldn’t have to) and “just plug a monitor in” (well yeah).

        I would have hoped that is have been a protocol extension or something rather than outright dismissed as “doing it wrong”.

          I think thee main reason for some of Waylands feature cuts next to security and legacy stuff no one needs anymore is the unmaintainable giant X11 became but I agree, some sort of reliable way to extend the protocol directly would be cool to have eventually, usually that stuff shouldn’t really be in the protocol itself ether tho!

          Oh hell no. Vnc isn’t application specific, dynamically resizable, and requires adding that to remote hosts when ssh and x is already there. You know nothing, John Snow.

        Don’t tell me I don’t need it, I use it every day to run apps not yet available on arm from another system. I’ve used it for years at work, as well. Just because it’s for something other than fricking gamer’s doesn’t mean it is not needed.

          I never claimed you or others don’t need it, just that it’s a featore most people don’t need… Furthermore almost anyone who claims to need it would be totally fine with a implementation outside of the display protocol (E.g. VNC) too so the amount of people who actually need it is extremly small.

    Wayland if possible because it generally performes better and is actively maintained. Xorg if Wayland doesn’t support your system yet.

    Wayland all the way, 120 hz Freesync monitor with 60 hz second monitor works perfectly on KDE Plasma with AMD. No fussing about with X11 configs or worrying about if the compositor is active or not, it just works.

      No screen tearing out of the box is a huge plus for wayland. Makes recommending GNU/Linux much easier

      Another vote for your answer. I just can’t be bothered to troubleshoot Wayland on Void if X11 just works already for my purposes.

              Fix your wayland piece of shit or get it the fuck out of linux. Gatekeeping my ass. It does not FULLY replace X11 functionality, and they have no intent to fix that. Why go backwards and break what works for our daily jobs? It fucking moronic.

                No kidding. That’s the entire mission statement of Wayland.

                Nothing is stopping you from using X11 outside of company policy, which is an entirely different problem.

                It fucking moronic.

                No it’s not.

                I’m a longtime user of X11 and vastly prefer it for what I do, but I’m not going to force the opinion of my preference on others with different use case requirements.

                C’mon, the *nix world is big enough for choice.

                  No kidding. That’s the entire mission statement of Wayland. Which is WRONG

                  Nothing is stopping you from using X11 outside of company policy, which is an entirely different problem. Not true. As things get made to be Wayland only, X11 is getting pushed out.

                  C’mon, the *nix world is big enough for choice. No, it isn’t. Wayland is a toy for people who play. X11 is a tool for people who work.

                  Won’t be long now before your your favorite DE’s will only be available on Wayland, and be missing features because of it.

    I’m in Wayland but that’s because I’m Intel Integrated. If it was Nvidia I might have leaned more towards X111

    I love Wayland. But I go with X11 because fucking Slack. Video calls crash the whole thing on Wayland.

    Edit: Debian 12, with Kde Plasma. The same thing happened with Gnome. It’s a known issue afaik

    Wayland is the future. X11’s future is dead. Unfortunately there are still some growing pains. Xwayland mostly works but I have issues with it sometimes.
