  May I ask why? Is there a feature you need that doesn’t work?

  Just curious, I’ve been using Wayland on Plasma for awhile now with no issues.

    Not OP but I’ve got exactly one thing that doesn’t work on Wayland that works on X11. For whatever reason, Streaming Oblivion Remastered from Steam on my Linux desktop to my TV will not show video in Wayland, but does in X11. It’s literally the only reason I’ve got X11

      I mean… you could just not play oblivion?

      No judgment but that game is old af and I don’t recall it being all that great

        The remaster just came out this year, and Oblivion is loved by a lot of people. I replay it every couple years. Regardless, old games are very much still worth experiencing.

    It’s a weird-ass issue where Nvidia+Wayland prevents me from playing RuneScape. The only thing that works is switching to X11.

      AFAIK, XFCE is X11 by default

        For now. They’re experimenting with labwc, a Wayland compositor. It’s pretty solid already despite being very early on.

        I honestly don’t know enough to know why it works :/ My choices on Garuda Linux by default are Plasma with Wayland or Plasma with X11.

  Xwayland is a thing.
