Hey guys, what are the pros and cons to wayland if I intend to use my PC for gaming + others?

Comparisons to X?

General impressions?

Your advice on if I should use it or stick with X?

My PC parts are arriving soon, and while Ive been a linux user since 2016 its the first time I intend to fully main drive linux, so I guess im just looking for as much information as I can get on it.

Feel free to post links to articles or anything that will answer if you prefer, we’re on a link aggregator after all ;) and I dont mind reading.

Thanks in advance :)

    You seem to have experience with tiling window managers and wayland. Any suggestions for a WL compatible bspwm-esque one? I dislike the way i3 handles tiling, which is the only other one other than bspwm that ive tried. Also one which is reasonably well documented?

      bspwm is probably my favorite general-purpose tiling window manager. I have not personally tried this out yet, but River is superficially similar, with the main configuration done through a combination of shell scripting and riverctl commands. I’m not sure how the tiling behaves in comparison though.
