I was wondering how many wayland users are here, and what is your gpu? Why not the other?

I for one use xorg, because of my ye olden nvidia gpu that does not mesh too well with wayland.

Wayland doesn't work properly in like half of its respects. Xorg still connects to my external monitor without fail. Wayland just does funky things and isn't a consistent experience for me on Nvidia cards yet. Hoping for that big push KDE is doing with Plasma in February, hopefully that solves most of my issues.

I want to buy an AMD machine (possibly Framework) but it's expensive for literally just dicking around. I don't need a performant Linux machine for anything.
