minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up26·1 year agoA unified, bug-free, performant and featureful display stack to ensure people can use things like Variable refresh rate, which, iirc, is an impossibility on X11.
minus-squareTornadoRex@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoThat’s pretty awesome. I imagine this would be a huge advantage with the growth of Linux gaming too
minus-squareBogasse@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoI suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn’t running on Wayland 👍
