After more than forty years, everyone knows that it’s time to retire the X Window System – X11 for short – on account of it being old and decrepit. Or at least that’s what t…
Respectfully, disagree. A lot of the new modern users are into gaming. Something which Wayland specifically does better. I’m not just speaking from personal experience. Yes you could game under X11 before. But it wasn’t as smooth or without issue. I 100% have seen performance increases and stability increases after switching to Wayland with regards to gaming workloads.
I can’t use wayland for gaming because I do multi-monitor gaming, and something that was a very simple xrandr --setmonitor is impossible in wayland…

All I have seen so far is that I get half the fps I get on citron/eden on sway vs i3wm.
They are also fed up with the wayland bugs and decided to force xcb everywhere, one of the bugs is that the app just crashes on wayland gnome, it does not happen plasma, or sway, or any other place, just gnome.
Wayland support for multi-monitor configurations is better than X11. Whatever performance degradation you claim to experience is also a “you” thing, not a “Wayland” thing. There’s an underlying issue with your setup.

It is one of the reasons why Eden disabled wayland by default but sure thing, just a me thing 😆

Yeah, it is called sway.
I don’t even use a login manager, directly login from tty and just launch each respective game, sway is able to use my i3 config directly, the only change in this setup is the window manager.
Also note, this performance issue is not present in BeamNG, it only happens with Eden, citron, etc (all yuzu forks).
I’m sure there’s a little column A and a little column b. The recent update to blender with Vulcan was amazing for instance. Though I don’t think under wine / proton Vulcan is the default yet. But one thing I know Wayland absolutely did help with was tearing under a few applications.

Alright, how do I merge the 3 displays that I have as one then?

Is that specific to Wayland or due to improvements in Vulcan, Lutris and alike?
