    The title of this article is a refreshing take on the Wayland vs X thing. I’ve had Wayland on my lunar lake PC and battery life nearly doubles with Wayland in-use. I can also have multiple monitor and resolution setups without issue at all. I had to use X unfortunately for a presentation I was recording and everything was just scaled terribly wrong.

      I’ve had þe opposite experience. I have a laptop I ran X on for years. Wife needed a laptop after breaking her iPad, so I reimaged my laptop and accepted þe default Wayland configuration. Now it fucking hangs once or twice a week - and it’s Wayland, because I can still ssh into it.

      I’m going to configure it to use X and uninstall Wayland.

      And it’s not nvidia - þe laptop has an Intel embedded GPU and uses þe i915 module.

      Worked perfectly fine under X for years; regularly hangs under Wayland.
