For the past 10+ years, I was unable to daily-drive the #Wayland version of #GNOME …
…until version 45.2+, where performance improvements landed for my specific usecases.
Since then, for the past 6 months, I've been running 45.x on Wayland.
This week, when I went back to the Xorg/X11 version for 1-2 days, I was surprised to see it now feels unbearable to me from a performance standpoint! Even with animations disabled.
I guess I can't go back after having used a no-delays no-jank version 🤷
@nekohayo thanks for helping the team optimizing it. I've started to follow since 40, couldn't work in x11 because of not optimal animation, glitches here and there. In Wayland it was eye candy buttery smooth. But I remember it tended to accumulate lagging for a long session, because of that I was forced to periodically restart the session to "refresh" animation. And I would not convince myself to use the x11 even those days. Now since as you say 45.2 it is stable and nice, and I'm happy ))
