    Can somebody explain why everyone is trying to ditch xorg? I’ve never had an issue with xorg, but I’m always hearing about major issues with Wayland.

      Xorg(and the x server protocol) is very old and like most long lived software has quite a few warts and quirks.

      Wayland has been “the future” for like 10 years (though it’s quite a bit older). It’s only now starting to reach a critical mass where things are starting to change so it might feel a bit of a mess at the moment.

      Wayland has much more up-to-date graphics technologies behind it to put it simply.
