Ask HN: When do you think Wayland will be broadly supported?
I&#x27;ll switch to Wayland as soon as Wayland works better than X in ways I care about, namely performance.  I get 25-50% more FPS in games using X than Wayland.<p>The touted benefits of Wayland aren&#x27;t manifest or relevant to me.   Screen tearing?   I don&#x27;t get screen tearing when using kwin with compositing on my intel iGPU.   I know what screen tearing looks like, I&#x27;ve experienced it before with other configurations, and it doesn&#x27;t happen for me with this configuration.   Security?  My whole $HOME is readable and writeable to just about any application I run; using Wayland is like locking my windows but leaving my front door wide open.    X being an abandoned project that is no longer supported?  Well it&#x27;s still performing better than Wayland for me.<p>If Wayland devs really want me to switch, they&#x27;ll need to either make Wayland work much better, or make X work much worse.   Until then, I won&#x27;t switch.
