I haven't yet seen any compelling reason to move off of X11. It's been years since I've checked - what's the current state of the art ?

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope is the one actually competent wayland WM.

Noticeably it doesn't export Wayland to applications running underneath unless you enable an experimental flag, and half the reason for its existence is that it can be entirely bypassed by related Vulkan layer extension.

And it works great as a standalone X11 server too.

Wayland is going to make 2024 the year of Linux on the Desktop!

Any day now...

I thought it was already the year of Linux on the Desktop??

Jokes aside if you can avoid anti-cheats (rootkits) DXVK makes a lot of Windows workflows very accessible on Linux.

Yeah, but it is slowly getting better.

Not advocating for 2024 (or 2025) but I still think someday it will, having seen multiple usability and feature improvements. (Not only talking about wayland here)
