    The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

    This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

    other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.


  • It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

    Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

    From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).
