Everyone keeps saying how well the highdpi stuff works, but then it really only works for a subset of things. For the rest it&amp;#x27;s actually worse than Xorg.&lt;p&gt;Multiscreen is Xorg is kinda mushy so I thought maybe Wayland fixes it, but no it doesn&amp;#x27;t.&lt;p&gt;Wayland is now 12 years old and everything is still half-baked.&lt;p&gt;It quotes an intel developer saying they don&amp;#x27;t want to do any more stuff on Xorg. But the reality is that as much as I admire intels open source contributions. I don&amp;#x27;t remember a time where all the features in the Intel driver actually fully worked. But sure, maybe it&amp;#x27;s an Xorg issue, or they don&amp;#x27;t know how to do release management.&lt;p&gt;Either way, Wayland doesn&amp;#x27;t seem to solve the problems it promised to fix.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ll stay on Xorg as long as possible because I&amp;#x27;m not willing to sacrifice latency for no tearing.</text></comment>
