      Development of the Wayland specification and multiple Wayland compositors is funded by the X.org foundation, and done largely by current and former Xorg developers / maintainers.

      So it still works!

      I tried Wayland on 2 machines and got major issues on both so no thanks. It’s a nice thing for multi-monitor setups though

        Is that with an Nvidia GPU? Apparently that can be problematic in its current state. Wayland on my AMD card has been basically flawless, but your mileage may vary.

          Can confirm, I was running GTX 1070 and Wayland was unusable, after hopping to AMD it is flawless.

            Yeah - after posting my comment I legit double checked that I was indeed running Wayland. I’ve heard so many people complain about its instability that I started to doubt myself. Sure enough, it’s Wayland and it’s been an amazing experience thus far. Daily use for work and browsing is basically flawless, and most games seem to run as good or better than they did under Windows 11.

            Very weird then! Oh well, I’m sure X11 will stick around long into when Wayland works on all systems.
