I originally switched bc I had a Surface Pro and Wayland has better support for touch screens. There’s also less security issues with Wayland (because of X’s network protocol system) if thats a major concern for you. Its being more actively developed than X, and I personally found it to be very stable and don’t see any reason to switch. I do have an AMD card so mileage will vary if you use Nvidia. I heard it’s not as good for games, but I haven’t had any problems with it, and things like Teams and screen sharing not really working are not a big priority for me because I dual boot Windows for work and “big” games. I have had some trouble with scaling in the past, everything works fine now but it’s a bit harder than X.
Also it’s pretty easy to switch between an X and Wayland session so you can easily compare things for your own use case.
That are good reasons, but don’t really relevant for my usage. Afaik Wayland forced vsync in the past which would be bad for some gaming scenarios.
In the mean time I tried Wayland, by simply starting Hyprland on another tty. It runs well on my old laptop, but the second program (surf) that I tried errored. I will try Wayland some more in the future, but I will probably not switch in the near future
