Yes, I made it using a laptop's trackpad, how could you tell?

The young man says: "It's high time you retire, old man!" Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: "It's still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!" ]

10% FPS drop compared to X11 because of perfect frame requirements

X11 has literally never stuttered even on the hack that is WSL

The only time I have actually gotten X11 to crash was an unrelated kernel panic.

Also no one uses X11 networking by default lmao, its always X forward over SSH, that is definitely secure and still something wayland can't do.

Sure it can, with waypipe (like, for a while now...)
Just waypipe ssh <host> [command]

You can even run X apps over this through cage even when X11 forwarding is disabled by the host (because, you know, the security issues...)

I see you have never used nVidia cards.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's still buttry smooth, you just have to downgrade back to x11 when the Nvidia drivers shit in there hands and claps.

I was referring to crashing X11. That happens all the time with nVidia.

I thought it was hyperbole, that sucks. If your using an Nvidia card from before 2014(kepler) those drivers aren't officially being supported anymore on linux. I'd recommend upgrading, maybe going used if your strapped for cash. 20series and later is getting a lot of love rn so id probably wouldn't go older than 20 series.

Oh, I did upgrade, to AMD card. Since then 0 issues. :D
