--- Comment #3 from mata sutupud@yahoo.com --- I'd love to see wayand become the default too at some, but I don't think we're there yet.
What I have experienced so far is that, when it comes to games, when it works in wayland it usually feels a lot smoother than on XWayland. Thanks on this point to the devs for the great work! But some applications only work with the x11 driver, specially if you don't also use things like proton, dxvk, or special settings. For example for some games the game has no problems running on wayland, but the electron-based launcher doesn't work correctly. So if the game doesn't support running without or with an alternative launcher it gets tricky. If you're lucky it has a tray bar menu that works and allows to run stuff, for example like epic, but for that you first need to install everything on x11 first, or to re-login if wants you to. So in general, I'd say x11 for now is still the better default, becase more applications will work out of the box with it. Specially since wine can't know beforehand if what you want to run inside works with wayland or not. It's rare that something doesn't work on x11 but does on wayland (Rage2 is the only example I can think of that I could get to work on wayland but freezes on x11).
