i switched to i3wm and picom, recently, initially had issues with tearing, but honestly, i just haven't seen tearing recently, and i'm not sure why.
It’s fine if it works for you, but I’m getting tired of Linux conservatives projecting their own experiences on everyone else and declaring Wayland as “not ready yet” and handwaving all of X’s obvious problems away because they’re used to dealing with them.
valid opinion i guess, but i just stated the reason why i'm waiting a few years until moving to wayland, if i were a linux conservative i would refuse to move off of X lmao.
It'd be nice to use wayland, but from what i've heard and what i've seen it sounds like it's going to be equally as annoying as X is, especially more so because i'm currently using nvidia, and wayland doesn't seem to support nvidia as well as X does, just due to development focus. Currently i just don't think the CBA is going to be significantly net positive enough to rip up my entire current install, transition from i3wm, to another one, and then start using/learning wayland, just yet.
Like yes major releases and distros are moving to wayland now, that just means they find it stable enough to start doing development on it. I'll wait a bit and then later move over once things settle down. I have years of experience using X, and significant familiarity with it. I have none with wayland, i'd simply prefer to wait a bit.
