By all indications, neither is Wayland. It's barely any more usable without running an X server on top today than 10 years ago.



There is a happy silent majority that disagrees.

I personally almost never need to run Xwayland. My terminals (kitty, alacrity), web browser, all work great in Wayland with good hidpi scaling. Vscode has good support now too I hear. KiCad seems close to landing good support. I use OBS & it works amazing; Pipewire+Wayland is a modern marvel & such a faster cleaner better system than the slow costly trashfires we had. https://arewewaylandyet.com/ fills most of the rest of the little needs I have.
