Hey Community,
Since I just read a post about the X11 vs. Wayland situation I’m questioning if I should stay on X11, or switch to Wayland. Regarding this decision, I’m asking you for your opinions plus please answer me a few questions. I will put further information about my systems at the bottom.
- What are the advantages of Wayland? What are the disadvantages?
- I do mostly music production, programming, browsing, etc, but occasionally I’m back into gaming (on the desktop). How’s performance there? Anything that might break?
- what would be the best way to migrate?
- why have/haven’t you made the switch?
Desktop: Ryzen 3100, 16 Gig Ram, Rx 570 Arch Linux with KDE 144 hz Freesync Monitor and 60hz shitty monitor
laptop: Thinkpad L540 (iirc), i3 4100, 8 GB Ram intel uhd630 gfx (iirc) Arch Linux with heavily customized i3-gaps
I’m using Wayland with Gnome and have no problem with screen capture.
Also no issues with to capture sound as well? For example, on Discord?
Discord doesn’t have sound sharing on Linux whether X11 or Wayland. They just haven’t built the functionality.
Oh okay, that’s good to know! I thought it was something with my setup.

Screen capture is taking a screenshot, Screen sharing is when you present shit at a zoom meeting. Did you mean screen sharing?
On that note, screen sharing worked just fine for me on Wayland Fedora 38 with Zoom Flatpak.
You are right, i misread your text. I haven’t tried sharing.
Screen capture issues have been fixed for years now.
