Would be great if I could use it for everything already! But alas, it is not ready yet, so in the meantime X.Org…
Affected version OS: ArchLinux (latest as of 2020.10.07) Mutter: 3.38.1 Session: Wayland GPU / driver: AMD...
Or maybe it's a different issue..Last edited by Volta; 28 December 2021, 02:52 PM.

I already said many times here. Stutter, less FPS than Xorg, vsync enabled everywhere, mouse cursor becomes a shit on games...
This happens in whatever distro I use.
AMD.

Overall executive summary? Linux can be used for game playing now? Indications seem that Wayland may be several percentage points better for games, than the usual X.org displays, for game playing.
Most, or some games games work with Xwayland instead. It is unclear from this report how this affects the overall report.
Other than games, Linux had many other display factors, not discussed in this comparison of Wayland versus X.org display systems. Gnome, KDE and XFCE are the major desktop environments currently, with Gnome being the most under rapid development and unpredictability. In this report, it shows better performance benchmark results.
Other major aspects of the desktop environments are not considered. Multi-monitor adaptivity, adjustments and predictability varies with all desktop environments. This is important of the user is facing changes in hardware, software and user environments.

Wayland is ready. You'll never be able to do everything in Wayland if applications that need to support Wayland don't support Wayland. It's not a matter of Wayland not being ready. With the addition of XWayland, which was used for all of the software in this benchmark, the vast majority of applications run in a Wayland session. I don't mean like 80%, I mean 99.999%.
Let's be honest, Linux desperately needs Wayland, not for tomorrow or even now, for yesterday! But for all its advantages, it also has some non-trivial disadvantages, is not mere laziness that aside from KDE, very few other have invested in their Wayland support; be it applications, or compatibility layers like Wine or package distribution instruments like AppImage.
Wayland is way away from perfect, but it is what we have if we want HDR or proper multimonitor support, among other today's stuff.

This is so bad it's making me seriously consider switching to another DE.
Also I would have liked to see benchmarks done on Sway too since we're working with Wayland environments.
