I am not gonna reply to all of that because all we are doing at this point is repeating the same thing. But we are NOT stopping you from using x11. You can either build it yourself and put it on a copr (it’s not like neal is using voodoo in his copr), use the copr we provide or …
This is extremely hostile towards new people trying linux for the very first time, asking them to add a copr repo if they have problems with wayland to try X11, its unlikely they ever heard this stuff before.
Most likely they are trying out Fedora on a live media.
And they're not going to get an X11 experience on live media even now. Wayland has been used for all environment modes since Fedora 36.
I am aware if this. So you are saying that its perfectly fine that someone new to linux boot into a desktop that microstutters when they move windows around?
No, it's not fine. Just like it's not fine to get random tear/corruption snow when moving things around or opening windows on X11.
The difference is that we can actually do something about those issues with Plasma Wayland when people report them. *Tons* of these kinds of issues were fixed over the past 3 years, and Plasma 6 brings a huge upgrade around this stuff too. And the whole graphics pipeline is fully under the control of KDE Plasma, so we can do things we've never done before. That's why we can do VRR, HDR, VR, mixed-DPI, fractional scaling, and so much more.
We can do things that even other Wayland desktops can't do because our architecture is flexible enough to do it. With Plasma X11, our necks are hanging to the dying albatross that is the X server and our hands are tied behind our backs when we want to actually do something to improve the experience. These are not issues with Plasma Wayland.
Because Plasma Wayland... is just KDE Plasma.
Quite a bit of topic from my part, but is your pipeline for Wayland flexible enough to turn off any kind of display sync (even in windowed mode) if the user wants that?
Sure, it has its downside (e.g. tearing can happen), but I rather have that than the added latency (even if very minimal) of such a sync (and yes, that includes VRR which has a considerable smaller one than normal V-SYNC).
