MattHOST
And it wasn't nearly as fun because it was a time-consuming and tedious thing.
MattHOST
And the rewards weren't nearly as good as if you used Polybar or something like that on X.org.
MattHOST
So that's just kind of the feeling that I had.
MattHOST
I don't know.
Chris TitusHOST
Both do work, though.
Chris TitusHOST
and then certain other things you know variable refresh rate 4k support tearing you've probably heard of these things well Linux like five years ago almost everything used XOR well it doesn't have VRR it doesn't have 4k support and you have to modify or well you have to configure X.Org did not have tearing or be tear-free by default.
Chris TitusHOST
You can do all these things, and that's what I do.
Chris TitusHOST
I still use X.Org.
Chris TitusHOST
But most people these days use Wayland and just know almost every desktop environment.
Chris TitusHOST
Most people are huge into Hyperland and other things you've heard about.
Chris TitusHOST
And I've gone through different, all kinds of crazy stuff.
Chris TitusHOST
Right now, I'm running some nutty experiment of trying Xlibre instead of Xorg or Wayland.
Chris TitusHOST
It's going okay.
Chris TitusHOST
Maybe making it a new video.
Chris TitusHOST
Probably not, though.
Chris TitusHOST
I still would probably recommend Xorg over Ex Libre.
Chris TitusHOST
But it's still like something where as you get older, it's not really and you get more experience.
Chris TitusHOST
It's not really about the distro anymore.
Chris TitusHOST
So he started kind of piecing together a top bar for me.
Chris TitusHOST
I rebuild everything in this to where it's X.org because I'm an X.org user.
Chris TitusHOST
I like X.org.
Chris TitusHOST
It just has less problems than Wayland for me.
Chris TitusHOST
I know mileage will vary.
Chris TitusHOST
I'm not saying everyone should switch to X.org.
Chris TitusHOST
I don't care if you use it or not.
Chris TitusHOST
This is about me.
Chris TitusHOST
Totally understand what you're saying.
Chris TitusHOST
I just know X.Org very well.
Chris TitusHOST
You can do tear-free.
Chris TitusHOST
Honestly, and you don't even need to do the setup script.
Chris TitusHOST
If you're an NVIDIA user, you can actually hardwire your entire monitor configured directly into X.Org.
Chris TitusHOST
Uh, so on X or boot, it will literally just set that up for you.
Chris TitusHOST
So you don't have any worry about it.
Chris TitusHOST
I don't like Wayland, so I'm not going to use Wayland.
Chris TitusHOST
I'm just going to use my DWM with Xorg.
Chris TitusHOST
And instead of having Dunst and Polybar and all these other crap that people have I've done in the past, I'm using QuickShell for everything.
Chris TitusHOST
It's my notification daemon.
Chris TitusHOST
It totally is.
Chris TitusHOST
I use Xorg instead of Hyperland or Wayland.
Chris TitusHOST
For me, I've always enjoyed X11.
Chris TitusHOST
It's been around for decades.
Chris TitusHOST
It just works better for my needs, whether it's gaming, whether it's X11 forwarding, SSH work.
Chris TitusHOST
I do a lot of remote things on my system, and I just simply can't be bothered with the new flashy... animations of Hyperland and all the extra addities to Wayland where I've always run into like bugs because of the different buffers that you have between Wayland and Xorg.
Chris TitusHOST
And I could go into a whole 30 minute explanation between the two, but essentially Xorg has one display server.
Chris TitusHOST
Everything gets pushed through that.
Chris TitusHOST
In this video, I'll be talking about the differences between Wayland and Xorg and which one you should choose to manage your display events in Linux.
Chris TitusHOST
OK, before I get going on this, I'm going to just address the elephant in the room.
Chris TitusHOST
I know I'm wearing a Microsoft certified professional shirt, but it was laundry day and I had this in my closet and I just threw it on.
Chris TitusHOST
Be kind in the comments, guys.
Chris TitusHOST
And I'm going to go ahead and jump into this video.
Chris TitusHOST
So before I jump into the differences between Wayland and Xorg, I want to kind of go over what they are.
Chris TitusHOST
What do they do? Well, they're basically display servers that communicate and compose windows for applications.
Chris TitusHOST
So what does that mean exactly? Well, that means if you go to pull up an application and the window comes up and it has a black screen, well, a lot of times that is either Wayland or Xorg having a seizure, so to speak.
Rob CampbellHOST
Over the past week, we've seen him use AI to work on kernel performance, make difficult code easier to understand, and help uncover bugs dating back more than a decade.
Rob CampbellHOST
So it's not like X.org old bugs, but a decade's pretty long for the kernel.
Rob CampbellHOST
Anyway, calling him all in, might be putting a headline on it, but he's clearly moving beyond simply saying these tools can't be useful.
Rob CampbellHOST
He's putting them to work himself.
