Wherever you went to college , you wasted your money . <| sep |> If you ' ve ever dragged a window on an x desktop you may have noticed a very minor or major , if you did it years ago lag in how the window follows your cursor . Your cursor moves exactly like your input from the mousetouchpad , but the window doesn ' t , it ' s like it ' s trying to follow the cursor around the screen , almost catching it , but always a frame or two behind . With new hardware and optimizations this behavior has gotten so small it is almost unnoticeable , but it ' s still there , and it can ' t be fixed other than by not using x . Most of the end user advantages of switching to wayland are very minor stuff , decades of hacking on x have eliminated most of the grievances , the ones that wayland solves are the corner cases that are literally unfixable using x . It ' s not so much efficiency , it ' s that over the years most of x has become useless or counterproductive and current desktops sidestep it more than they use it . Which is one of the reasons why people who had been x developers their whole lives decided to break away from the design and make wayland rather than x 12 .
