It’s great on newer hardware, specially phones and tablets. For your 5 year old laptop, it likely is about the same as X11.

What does it do on new hardware? Not a lot of people are running normal desktop Linux on phones / tablets, are they? Which, totally cool if it works better on those things… but I guess I’m just surprised by how much hype there is for Wayland when X just works for me and would presumably just work for most people’s use cases. Like… who are all of these people that are emotionally invested in display servers, and what am I missing?

I mean, 20 years ago or whatever there was always the pain of black screens and X configs… but it just kind of works now in my experience?

For example, Pinetab 2 was developed and tested with Wayland and is more stable on it. Plus way better touchscreen support.
