Better than Windows? Wayland Makes Linux Smoother

#Wayland #X11
Yesterday my long-awaited #wayland #scheme bindings were merged into #guix
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/4564
2026. Year of guile scheme on desktop
I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?
And the answer is: Yes, actually.
⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10
Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

Soo, which tiling window manager, or any compositor really on #wayland has night light implemented?
Xfwl4: Xfce soll eigenen Wayland-Compositor bekommen
Das Xfce-Team will eingesammelte Spendengelder in die Entwicklung des Wayland-Compositors xfwl4 stecken.
If you would like to help financially support the development of a new Wayland compositor for Xfce, you can do so by contributing funds via our #OpenCollective accounts.
For US contributions:
https://opencollective.com/xfce
For EU contributions:
https://opencollective.com/xfce-eu
These contributions will help pay for the funding of longtime Xfce core developer Brian Tarricone to create xfwl4, a brand-new Wayland compositor for Xfce.
Thank you for your support!
On the list of "is it dead and unmaintained?" concerns, the #sway window manager for #Wayland isn't looking healthy either 💔
It works great for me still, but I'm starting to worry a bit.
Is there another tiling WM for Wayland I should look at? Maybe #Hyprland?
(Though I recall there was some drama around it ...?)
Hyprland 0.53.2 tiling Wayland compositor is out, improving plugins, window handling, and multi-monitor behavior.

Qué verde está #wayland, no se si es por el #nvidia o qué, pero me rindo, no puedo configurar la resolución de pantalla... será #x11 forever 😆
is looking to #GetFediHired!
