A unified, bug-free, performant and featureful display stack to ensure people can use things like Variable refresh rate, which, iirc, is an impossibility on X11.

That’s pretty awesome. I imagine this would be a huge advantage with the growth of Linux gaming too

I suppose the Steam Deck experience would be a bit worse if it wasn't running on Wayland 👍

The games on Steam Deck are already running in Wayland using gamescope IIRC

Wait, what? I'm on PopOS, with Nvidia GPU, and my "g-sync" VRR works fine.

PopOS uses GNOME which hopefully uses Wayland

I can confirm that PopOS 22.04 is definitely running on X. wayland is officially coming when Cosmic releases.

That said, I see that Wayland is "available" if I want to manually switch to it - but it is definitely disabled as a default (and current) setting.
