Have been using Sway on Wayland since 1.0 came out six months or so ago and the only awkward part has been HiDPI (I have an Intel card so not effected by the nVidia support). Otherwise good riddance to X, honestly. It felt old 10 years ago! Here's hoping the major desktops etc can finally sort out the remaining instability/rough edges over the next year or two.


> HiDPI

Hasn't HiDPI support been one of the main drivers of the renewed interest in Wayland the last few years?


> It felt old 10 years ago!

And it felt old 20 years ago when I started first using it! And I was on a college campus with networked Unix workstations in computer labs and departments. The model environment for this vaunted “network transparency” that never quite worked right, was never quite dependable enough to really put it into your collaboration workflow. Hell, I think only the CS department was able to get home directories fully implemented and useful.

Good riddance!


There is still no adaptive sync support.
