current mood (i've been trying to fix this goddamn screen tearing issue for hours)
@mjdxp Do you experience screen tearing with Wayland? I think I've never seen it on any of my Wayland-capable machines running Sway 🤔
@m0xee no, i'm not really ready to move to wayland yet, especially considering my desktop uses a lot of old x11 apps

@mjdxp For me the transition was smooth, there is a Wayland version of nearly everything, I've even disabled XWayland by now. The only thing I miss is surf-like browser.
Not that I have a lot of requirements — it's mostly terminals as most software I use is TUI, Alacritty fills the spot. Firefox works without a hitch, so does other GTK software, SDL apps too. The only thing that doesn't is GIMP as Void has a really old "stable" version of it, but I don't use it often and I have other computers.
@mjdxp I don't get the Wayland hate at all, among all that systemd-pulseaudio stuff Wayland is the thing I hate the least, I even like it in a way. I'm an old time Linux user, but even I've been using X11 remotely like never — nice that is was there, but I won't miss it.
You don't seem like one of the types to hate it just for the sake of hating, give it another try, it should be possible to find a near identical replacement for any sw. And the scrolling is silk-smooth, no screen tearing.
