@bugaevc@mastodon.technology I think this is the issue more people need to use wayland to help find issues BUT they, like also need a stable system to work on so end up sticking with x.org
@sesivany @zleap @bugaevc I saw some post on Reddit last night about "simple tips to use hidpi on Linux" and it was an extremely long page with custom hacky configs to coax various programs to embiggen themselves on "4K" displays with X. https://blog.yossarian.net/2020/12/24/A-few-HiDPI-tricks-for-Linux
Meanwhile, with Wayland, you don't have to do a single thing. It just works.

I think if you install Debian with the Default Gnome front end you get wayland, otherwise you get Xorg and for me XFCE which for me is fine I have, older hardware but what I have works fine for my usage needs.
When Debian 11 comes out, it will be a fresh 11.0 install (much easier to avoid inheriting any issues). So I may end up with Wayland.
@zleap @bugaevc I've been using GNOME on Wayland for almost 5 years and in the last couple of years I'm never sure if I'm running on Wayland or Xorg. It just works.
But if you use a distro which hasn't cared about Wayland because it has been some non-default option, yes, you may have a different experience, but it's not Wayland's fault.
