I was wondering how many wayland users are here, and what is your gpu? Why not the other?

I for one use xorg, because of my ye olden nvidia gpu that does not mesh too well with wayland.

I'm using Wayland with AMD onboard grapgics (Ryzen) and it works like a charm. Sway (/wlroots) and gnome both have full featured compositors out there for years now and I'm looking forward to giving Plasma 6 a try as well (also I'm sceptical since Plasma 5 drove me away with it's instability at least when it was released).

Overall font rendering, screen sharing (selecting single windows or displays to share), WebGL (in browser camera effects) and switching monitors work better than when I last used XOrg about 3-4 years ago.
